Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He that writeth in blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but learnt by heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thou seekest disciples? Then thou seekest ciphers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We would not let ourselves be burned to death for our opinions: we are not sure enough of them for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Many people, especially women, never experience boredom because they have never learned to work properly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
And it is the great noon when man stands at the midpoint of his course between beast and superman and celebrates his way to the evening as his highest hope: for it is the way to a new morning.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Disobedience- that is the nobility of slaves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
