Image
How far is truth susceptible of embodiment? That is the question, that is the experiment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must give value to their existence by behaving as if ones very existence were a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mastery has been achieved when one neither makes a mistake nor hesitates in the performance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Christianity in particular should be dubbed a great treasure-chamber of ingenious consolations, such a store of refreshing, soothing, deadening drugs has it accumulated within itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever gives advice to a sick person acquires a feeling of superiority over him, whether the advice be accepted or rejected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every week we ought to have one hour for recieving letters, then go take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One should not be deceived: great spirits are skeptics ... Strength, FREEDOM which is born of the strength and overstrength of the spirit, proves itself by skepticism. Men of conviction are not worthy of the least consideration in fundamental questions of value and disvalue. Convictions are prisons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus] did not require humans or their sort of knowledge, since everything into which one may inquire he despises [as being] in contrast [to his own] inward-turning wisdom. [To him] all learning from others is a sign of nonwisdom, because the wise man focuses his vision on his own intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In almost all sciences the fundamental knowledge is either found in earliest times or is still being sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Creation is the great redemption from suffering and all life's growing light. But the creator must be suffering if needed and accept much change.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The individual has always to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
If an architect wants to strengthen a decrepit arch, he increases the load laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Physiologists should think before putting down the instinct of self-preservation as the cardinal instinct of an organic being. A living thing seeks above all to discharge its strength--life itself is will to power self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent results.
