More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The devotion of the greatest is to encounter risk and danger, and play dice for death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That lies should be necessary to life is part and parcel of the terrible and questionable character of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I admire the courage and wisdom of Socrates in everything he did, said--and did not say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way - before one began.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of many men and books rests solely on their faculty for compelling all to seek out the most hidden and intimate things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Body am I, and soul - so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children?
Friedrich Nietzsche
My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud, it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day bear lightnings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
