To find everything profound - that is an inconvenient trait. It makes one strain one's eyes all the time, and in the end one finds more than one might have wished.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is Genius?- To aspire to a lofty aim and to will the means to that aim.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One ought to hold on to one's heart for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do we have in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew lies on its body?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I would only believe in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity—through him all things fall. Not by wrath does one kill but by laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lie is a condition of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love and hatred are not blind, but are blinded by the fire they bear within themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience ultimately one must have one's experiences in common.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is most dishonest to one's god: he is not allowed to sin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For the purpose of knowledge we must know how to make use of the inward current which draws us towards a thing, and also of the current which after a time draws us away from it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A moral system valid for all is basically immoral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
love as a passion—it is our European specialty—must absolutely be of noble origin as is well known, its invention is due to the Provencal poet-cavaliers, those brilliant, ingenious men of the gai saber, to whom Europe owes so much, and almost owes itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To the mean all becomes mean.
Friedrich Nietzsche
