Image
Whoever has character also has his typical experience, which returns over and over again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is the good war that hallows every cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
No man ever wrote more eloquently and luminously [than Heraclitus].
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever is related to me in the height of his aspirations will experience veritable ecstasies of learning for I come from heights that no bird ever reached in its flight, I know abysses into which no foot ever strayed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Narrow souls I cannot abide There's almost no good or evil inside
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is good? ye ask. To be brave is good. Let the little girls say: To be good is what is pretty, and at the same time touching.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When I contemplated purpose I also contemplated chance and foolishness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus had] pride not in logical knowledge but rather in intuitive grasping of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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!
