More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I too have been in the underworld, as was Odysseus, and I will often be there again not only sheep have I sacrificed so as to beable to speak with a few dead souls, but neither have I spared my own blood as well.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The secret of reaping the greatest fruitfulness and the greatest enjoyment from life is to live dangerously.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall be those whose eyes ever seek for an enemy - for YOUR enemy. And with some of you there is hatred at first sight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have never come across someone who could inspire more respect than the Greek philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.--Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
the voice of beauty speaks softly it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We ought to learn from the kine one thing: ruminating.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Creation is the great redemption from suffering and all life's growing light. But the creator must be suffering if needed and accept much change.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is more sensitive to the contempt of others than to self-contempt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And if a man goes through fire for his doctrine - what does that prove? Verily, it is more if your own doctrine comes out of your own fire.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Youth is an unpleasant period for then it is not possible or not prudent to be productive in any sense whatsoever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who does not desire much more from things than knowledge of them easily makes peace with his soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
Friedrich Nietzsche
