More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye are ugly? Well then, my brethren, take the sublime about you, the mantle of the ugly!
Friedrich Nietzsche
About sacrifice and the offering of sacrifices, sacrificial animals think quite differently from those who look on: but they have never been allowed to have their say.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
We must be cruel as well as compassionate: let us guard against becoming poorer than nature is!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The moral earth, too, is round! The moral earth, too, has its antipodes! The antipodes, too, have their right to exist! There is still another world to be discovered--and more than one! Set sail, you philosophers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are so fond of being out among nature, because it has no opinions about us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is more ape than many of the apes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Zarathustra was the first to consider the fight of good and evil the very wheel in the machinery of things: the transposition of morality into the metaphysical realm, as a force, cause, and end in itself, is his work. [...] Zarathustra created this most calamitous error, morality consequently, he must also be the first to recognize it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those people have no real interest in a science who only begin to get excited about it when they themselves have made discoveries in it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you buy the why, the how is infinitely bearable
Friedrich Nietzsche
Learn to laugh at yourselves as one must laugh!
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is something laughable about the sight of authors who enjoy the rustling folds of long and involved sentences: they are trying to cover up their feet.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those with certain temperaments find no way to endure themselves except by striving towards going under.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One will seldom go wrong if one attributes extreme actions to vanity, average ones to habit, and pretty ones to fear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Remain true to the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
