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.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
On every parable you ride to every truth.
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
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
All of life is a dispute over taste and tasting.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My genius is in my nostrils.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The familiarity of superiors embitters one, because it may not be returned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One cannot read the New Testament without acquired admiration for whatever it abuses not to speak of the wisdom of this world, which an impudent wind bag tries to dispose of by the foolishness of preaching.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a certain state it is indecent to live longer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Compassion for the friend should conceal itself under a hard shell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My abyss speaks, I have turned my ultimate depth inside out into the light.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not destroy, strengthens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
Friedrich Nietzsche
A strong and well-constituted man digests his experiences (deeds and misdeeds all included) just as he digests his meats, even when he has some tough morsels to swallow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we cannot stand certain people, we try to have suspicions about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pathetic attitudes are not in keeping with greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You say a good cause justifies any war but I say a good war justifies any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
