Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who justifieth the future ones, and redeemeth the past ones: for he is willing to succumb through the present ones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Moralities and religions are the principal means by which one can make whatever one wishes out of man, provided one possesses a superfluity of creative forces and can assert one's will over long periods of time in the form of legislation and customs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The will to power can express itself only against resistances it seeks that which resists it--this is the native tendency of theamoeba when it extends its pseudopodia and gropes around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
As a human being Plato mingles regal, exclusive, and self-contained features with melancholy compassion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What the philosopher is seeking is not truth, but rather the metamorphosis of the world into man.
