More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It takes physical courage to indulge in wickedness. The good are too cowardly to do it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man unconsciously imagines that where he is strong, where he feels most thoroughly alive, the element of his freedom must lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is the proper task of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anti-theses.- The most senile thing ever thought about man is contained in the celebrated saying 'the ego is always hateful' the most childish is the even more celebrated 'love thy neighbor as thyself'. - In the former, knowledge of human nature has ceased, in the latter it has not yet even begun.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever has overthrown an existing law of custom has always first been accounted a bad man: but when, as did happen, the law could not afterwards be reinstated and this fact was accepted, the predicate gradually changed - history treats almost exclusively of these bad men who subsequently became good men!
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should never know too precisely whom one has married
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can promise actions, but not feelings, for the latter are involuntary. He who promises to love forever or hate forever or be forever faithful to someone is promising something that is not in his power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without meaning, without substance, without aim: a mere 'public opinion'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Be your self! All you are now doing, thinking, desiring, is not you yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings: what is closest appears large and weighty, and as one moves farther away size and weight decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We pay dearly for immortality: we die for it more than once during our lifetimes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The quality of a marriage is proven by its ability to tolerate an occasional exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For our self respect depends upon our ability to make requital, for good or for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
THE TEACHER AS A NECESSARY EVIL. Let us have as few people as possible between the productive minds and the hungry and recipient minds! The middlemen almost unconsciously adulterate the food which they supply. It is because of teachers that so little is learned, and that so badly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only strong personalities can endure history, the weak are extinguished by it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
