More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
To one who is accustomed to thinking a lot, every new thought that he hears or reads about immediately appears as a link in a chain.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My abyss speaks, I have turned my ultimate depth inside out into the light.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strongest have their moments of fatigue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I see many soldiers could I but see many warriors! Uniform one calleth what they wear may it not be uniform what they therewith hide!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The familiarity of superiors embitters one, because it may not be returned.

Acknowledge your will and speak to us all, This alone is what I will to be! Hang your own penal code up above you: we want to be its enforcers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest cure for love is still that time honoured medicine - love returned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Immature is the love of the youth, and immature his hatred of man and earth. His mind and the wings of his spirit are still tied down and heavy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The charm of knowledge would be small indeed, were it not that there is so much shame to be overcome on the way to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every talent must unfold itself in fighting.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who recites dramatic works makes discoveries about his own character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall only have foes to be hated but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Epicurus had rage and envy of Plato's superior style.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man would sooner have the Void for his purpose than be void of Purpose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Iron necessity is a thing which in the course of history men come to see as neither iron nor necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Principle of Christian love: it insists upon being well paid in the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Zarathustra was the first to consider the fight of good and evil the very wheel in the machinery of things: the transposition of morality into the metaphysical realm, as a force, cause, and end in itself, is his work. [...] Zarathustra created this most calamitous error, morality consequently, he must also be the first to recognize it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
