More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How far is truth susceptible of embodiment? That is the question, that is the experiment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thinking evil is making evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If that glad message of your Bible were written in your faces, you would not need to demand belief in the authority of that book in such stiff-necked fashion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Oh great star! What would your happiness be if you did not have us to shine for?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not to be cowardly when it comes to our own actions! Not to leave them in the lurch!--The sting of conscience is indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who is of a free spirit and a free heart: thus is his head only the bowels of his heart his heart, however, causeth his down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every high degree of power always involves a corresponding degree of freedom from good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strongest have their moments of fatigue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The beautiful exists just as little as the true. In every case it is a question of the conditions of preservation of a certain type of man: thus the herd-man will experience the value feeling of the true in different things than will the overman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A certain type of person strives to become a master over all, and to extend his force, his will to power, and to subdue all that resists it. But he encounters the power of others, and comes to an arrangement, a union, with those that are like him: thus they work together to serve the will to power. And the process goes on.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Genuine historical knowledge requires nobility of character, a profound understanding of human existence - not detachment and objectivity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power--assuming that life itself is the will to power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
To have and to want more that is life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
