More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The great works are produced in such an ecstasy of love that they must always be unworthy of it, however great their worth otherwise.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Invisible threads are the strongest ties.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I know no other way to associate with great tasks than as play: as a sign of greatness, this is an essential presupposition.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am really very, very tired of everything - more than tired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Virtues are dangerous as vices insofar as they are allowed to rule over one as authorities and not as qualities one develops oneself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never trust a thought that didn't come by walking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not give alms I am not poor enough for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I desire that your conjectures should not reach beyond your creative will. Could you create a god? Then do not speak to me of any gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What separates two people most profoundly is a different sense and degree of cleanliness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian church is an encyclopedia of prehistoric cults.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in form, but disbelief in content - that's what makes an aphorism charming.
Friedrich Nietzsche
the voice of beauty speaks softly it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man makes god in his own image.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sit as little as possible. Give no credence to any thought that was not born outdoors while moving about freely.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Few are made for independence, it is the privilege of the strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
