Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
But let me open up my heart to you completely, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear not being a god! Hence, there areno gods. I drew this conclusion, to be sure--but now it draws me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The really royal calling of the philosopher (as expressed by Alcuin the Anglo-Saxon): To correct what is wrong, and strengthen the right, and raise what is holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To become wise you have to want to experience certain experiences, and so to run into their open jaws. This is very dangerous, tobe sure many a wise man has been eaten up in doing so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To find everything profound - that is an inconvenient trait. It makes one strain one's eyes all the time, and in the end one finds more than one might have wished.
