Quote

I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move. Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.

The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
People who feel insecure in social situations never miss a chance to exhibit their dominance over close, submissive friends, whomthey put down publicly, in front of everyone--by teasing, for example.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is-cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The misunderstanding of passion and reason, as if the latter were an independent entity and not rather a system of relations between various passions and desires and as if every passion did not possess its quantum of reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Ultimately one loves one's desires and not that which is desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who humbles himself wants to be exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You shall become the person you are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who chasteneth his God, because he loveth his God: for he must succumb through the wrath of his God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
On the heights it is warmer than those in the valley imagine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to happiness as goal).
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
Image
He who laughs best today, will also laughs last.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Not with wrath do we kill, but with laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Though the favourites of the Gods die young, they also live eternally in the company of Gods
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In almost all sciences the fundamental knowledge is either found in earliest times or is still being sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
