Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
As soon as we climb higher than those who had at one time admired us, we appear to them as though we have sunken and fallen down:for, in any event, they had at one time supposed that they were with us (even if it were through us) on the heights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Wherever Germany extends her sway, she ruins culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Dreadful experiences raise the question whether he who experiences them, is not something dreadful also.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those who create are hard of heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
O my brothers, am I then cruel? But I say: that which is falling should also be pushed!
