Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
One must cease letting oneself be eaten when one tastes best: that is known to those who want to be loved long.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No artist tolerates reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And many such good inventions are there, that they are like woman's breasts: useful at the same time, and pleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
