More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A heart full of courage and cheerfulness needs a little danger from time to time, or the world gets unbearable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Seducing one's neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbor's opinion--who can match women in this clever ploy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The rising and falling of the scales of pride and humility sustain the brooding mind as well as the alternations of desire and peace of the soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What we call truths are just those errors that we cannot give up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of suffering : that is great, that belongs to greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All beings so far have created something beyond themselves and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Devil has the broadest perspectives for God therefore, he keeps so far away from God -- the Devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom
Friedrich Nietzsche
What really makes one indignant about suffering isn't the thing itself but the senselessness of it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not the strengths, but the durations of great sentiments that make great men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is honest about oneself either with a sense of shame or with vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope, in its stronger forms, is a great deal more powerful stimulans to life than any sort of realized joy can ever be. Man must be sustained in suffering by a hope so high that no conflict with actuality can dash it - so high, indeed, that no fulfilment can satisfy it: a hope reaching out beyond this world.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When our brain feels too weak to deal with our opponent's objections, our heart answers by casting suspicion on their underlying motives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
