More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Spiritual strength and passion, when accompanied by bad manners, only provoke loathing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books for general reading always smell bad the odor of common people hangs around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics - that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Are you one who looks on? or lends a hand? - or who looks away, sidles off?...Third question for the conscience.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The refinement of morality increases together with the refinement of fear. Today the fear of disagreeable feelings in other people is almost the strongest of our own disagreeable feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What? A great man? I only ever see the ape of his own ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever does not know how to find the way to his ideal lives more frivolously and impudently than the man without an ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Robinson had a servant even better than Friday: His name was Crusoe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Morality in Europe today is herd-morality
Friedrich Nietzsche
i have never pondered over questions that are not questions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women want to serve, and this is where their happiness lies: but the free spirit does not want to be served, and this is where hishappiness lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Go through the towns and ask yourselves whether these people should reproduce! Let them go to their whores!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The creation of freedom for oneself and a sacred No even to duty -- for that, my brothers, the lion is needed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
