More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Precisely this is godliness--that there are gods, but no God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Indeed, what forces us at all to suppose that there is an essential opposition of 'true' and 'false'? Is it not sufficient to assume degrees of apparentness and, as it were, lighter and darker shadows and shades of appearance- different 'values', to use the language of painters?
Friedrich Nietzsche
To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Liberal institutions straightway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: Once this is attained, no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people--but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pity is extolled as the virtue of prostitutes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The criminal type is the type of the strong human being under unfavorable circumstances: a strong human being made sick.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.--Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do we have in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew lies on its body?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself lying to others is relatively the exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are highly gifted spirits who are always infertile simply because, owing to a weakness in temperament, they are too impatient to wait out their pregnancy to term.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Who is better, they who promote truth over happiness, or happiness over truth?
Friedrich Nietzsche
We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every man who has declared that some other man is an ass or a scoundrel, gets angry when the other man conclusively shows that the assertion was erroneous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The perfect woman perpetrates literature as she perpetrates a small sin: as an experiment, in passing, glancing around to see whether anybody notices--and to make sure that somebody notices.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Science offends the modesty of all real women. It makes them feel as though it were an attempt to peek under their skin--or, worseyet, under their dress and ornamentation!
Friedrich Nietzsche
