More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The noble soul reveres itself
Friedrich Nietzsche
as though the Truth were such an innocent and incompetent creature as to require protectors!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Vanity is the fear of appearing original: it is thus a lack of pride, but not necessarily a lack of originality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have not come to know atheism as a result of logical reasoning and still less as an event in my life: in me it is a matter of instinct.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A joke is an epigram on the death of a feeling.
Friedrich Nietzsche
you must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without cruelty there is no festival: thus the longest and most ancient part of human history teaches and in punishment there is so much that is festive!
Friedrich Nietzsche
For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Metaphysical world.- It is true, there could be a metaphysical world the absolute possibility of it is hardly to be disputed. We behold all things through the human head and cannot cut off this head while the question nonetheless remains what of the world would still be there if one had cut it off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits-inasmuch as these two species always exist-occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Epicurus had rage and envy of Plato's superior style.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
There are men who desire power simply for the sake of the happiness it will bring these belong chiefly to political parties.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We grow hostile to many an artist or writer, not because we finally come to see he has deceived us, but because he thought no subtler means were required to ensnare us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Discontent is the seed of ethics.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who denies his own vanity usually possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes to avoid the necessity of despising himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall only have foes to be hated but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is the highest task and the proper metaphysical activity of this life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
