Quote

It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.

Image
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).

Image
Whatever we have words for, that we have already got beyond.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The State is the coldest of all cold monsters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure only the Englishman does.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All parties attempt to represent important things that have developed outside themselves as unimportant, and where they fail in this they assail those things all the more bitterly the more admirable they are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The will to overcome an emotion, is ultimately only the will of another, or of several other, emotions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We should conserve evil just as we should conserve the forests. It is true that by thinning and clearing the forests the earth grew warmer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Morality in Europe today is herd-morality
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Doing ill to those on whom we have to make our power felt for pain is a far more sensitive means for that purpose than pleasure: pain always asks concerning the cause, while pleasure is inclined to keep within itself and not look backward.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
My formula for happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch. Hence it is the greatest paradox in literature, the imperishable in the midst of change, the nourishment which always remains highly valued, as salt does, and never becomes stupid like salt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
