I fear that, with our current veneration for the natural and the real, we have arrived at the opposite pole to all idealism, and have landed in the region of the waxworks.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That little hypocrites and half-crazed people dare to imagine that on their account the laws of nature are constantly broken such an enhancement of every kind of selfishness to infinity, to impudence, cannot be branded with sufficient contempt. And yet Christianity owes its triumph to this pitiable flattery of personal vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When good friends praise a gifted person he often appears to be delighted with them out of politeness and goodwill, but in reality he feels indifferent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My formula for happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things:—then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love from henceforth!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith actually moves no mountains, but instead raises them up where there were none before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hold a true friend with both your hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is it that endowed things with meaning, value, significance? The creating heart, which desired, and, out of its desire, created. It created joy and woe. It wanted to satiate itself with woe. We must take all the suffering that has been endured by men and animals upon ourselves and affirm it, and possess a goal in which it acquires reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a certain state it is indecent to live longer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never to read another book that was born and baptized (with ink) at the same time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one does away with oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time the light on the stars requires time deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mastery has been achieved when one neither makes a mistake nor hesitates in the performance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What good is all this free-thinking, modernity, and turncoat flexibility if at some gut level you are still a Christian, a Catholic, and even a priest!
Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pardon me, my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Wherever Germany extends her sway, she ruins culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The moment Germany rises as a great power, France gains a new importance as a cultural power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
