More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
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
Image
Let old ones go. Dont be a memory-monger! Once you were young──now you are even younger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Iron necessity is a thing which in the course of history men come to see as neither iron nor necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who knoweth the reader, doeth nothing more for the reader. Another century of readers - and spirit itself will stink.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.

What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
As a human being Plato mingles regal, exclusive, and self-contained features with melancholy compassion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everyone carries within himself an image of womanliness derived from his mother: it is this that determines whether, on the whole,he will revere women, or despise them, or remain generally indifferent to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
But what if pleasure and pain should be so closely connected that he who wants the greatest possible amount of the one must also have the greatest possible amount of the other, that he who wants to experience the heavenly high jubilation, must also be ready to be sorrowful unto death?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A lack of the historical sense is the hereditary fault of all philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith means the will to avoid knowing what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For our self respect depends upon our ability to make requital, for good or for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In every age the wisest have passed the identical judgment on life: it is worthless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Belief in form, but disbelief in content - that's what makes an aphorism charming.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I hate you most because you attract, but are not strong enough to pull me to you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
New ways I go, a new speech comes to me weary I grow, like all creators, of the old tongues. My spirit no longer wants to walk on worn soles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
