More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
there they laugh: they do not understand me I am not the mouth for these ears.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Silence is worse all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
On the heights it is warmer than people in the valley suppose, especially in winter. The thinker recognizes the full import of this simile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That little hypocrites and half-crazed people dare to imagine that on their account the laws of nature are constantly broken such an enhancement of every kind of selfishness to infinity, to impudence, cannot be branded with sufficient contempt. And yet Christianity owes its triumph to this pitiable flattery of personal vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And a lot of poison at the end, for a pleasant death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some people do not become thinkers simply because their memories are too good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman shall be the meaning of the earth!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. God is such an obvious and crass solution a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom He is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
For our self respect depends upon our ability to make requital, for good or for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why couldn't the world that concerns us- be a fiction? And if somebody asked, 'but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?'- couldn't one answer simply: 'Why? Doesn't this belongs perhaps belong to the fiction, too?'
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why is it that wellnesses are not as contagious as illnesses--generally speaking, but also especially regarding taste? Or are there epidemics of health?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The stronger becomes master of the weaker, in so far as the latter cannot assert its degree of independence here there is no mercy, no forbearance, even less a respect for laws.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All rejection and negation indicates a deficiency in fertility: fundamentally, if only we were good plowland we would allow nothing to go unused, and in every thing, event, and person we would welcome manure, rain, or sunshine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Instinct. When the house burns one forgets even lunch. Yes, but one eats it later in the ashes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Human life is inexplicable, and still without meaning: a fool may decide its fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
