Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Philosophical systems are wholly true for their founders only.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The doer alone learneth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, there stands a mighty ruler. an unknown sage - whose name is self. In yourt body he dwells he is your body. There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
O, what nowadays does science not conceal! How much, at least, it is meant to conceal!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fair-mindedness, and gentleness with what is strange.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre,it will not suggest a disguise:--and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on--so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
