Quote

Every true faith is infallible. It performs what the believing person hopes to find in it. But it does not offer the least support for the establishing of an objective truth. Here the ways of men divide. If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, have faith. If you want to be a disciple of truth, then search.

I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself lying to others is relatively the exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. God is such an obvious and crass solution a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom He is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must never have spared oneself, one must have acquired hardness as a habit to be cheerful and in good spirits in the midst of nothing but hard truths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Precisely this is godliness--that there are gods, but no God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Be your self! All you are now doing, thinking, desiring, is not you yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We pay dearly for immortality: we die for it more than once during our lifetimes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
“Evil men have no songs.” How is it, then, that the Russians have songs?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is a stupid humility that is quite common and when a person is afflicted with it, he is once and for all disqualified for being a disciple of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whatever we think about and question a lot becomes questionable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I hate who steals my solitude, without really offer me in exchange company.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Physician, help yourself: thus help your patient too. Let this be his best help: that he may behold with his eyes the man who heals himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
But what if pleasure and pain should be so closely connected that he who wants the greatest possible amount of the one must also have the greatest possible amount of the other, that he who wants to experience the heavenly high jubilation, must also be ready to be sorrowful unto death?
Friedrich Nietzsche
