More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Every philosophy is the philosophy of some stage of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So far no one had had enough courage and intelligence to reveal me to my dear Germans. My problems are new, my psychological horizon frighteningly comprehensive, my language bold and clear there may well be no books written in German which are richer in ideas and more independent than mine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you buy the why, the how is infinitely bearable
Friedrich Nietzsche
History is nothing more than the belief in the senses, the belief in falsehood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This sign I give you: every people speaks its tongue of good and evil, which the neighbor does not understand. It has invented its own language of customs and rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher culture an individual attains, the less field there is left for mockery and scorn.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In compassionate men, severity is a virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every profound spirit needs a mask.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The people we keep standing in the anteroom of our favor either start fermenting or turn sour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Inaction, letting be, neither creating nor destroying--that is my evil. And also the knower as one without desire.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mothers easily become jealous of their sons' friends when they are particularly successful. As a rule a mother loves herself in her son more than she does the son himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space - how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pardon me, my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No more fiction, for now we calculate but that we may calculate, we had to make fiction first.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who does not desire much more from things than knowledge of them easily makes peace with his soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a one cannot loosen his own fetters, but is nevertheless his friend's emancipator.
Friedrich Nietzsche
