More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
One can lie with the mouth, but with the accompanying grimace one nevertheless tells the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Willing emancipateth: that is the true doctrine of will and emancipation - so teacheth you Zarathustra. No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me! And also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating and evolving delight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O, what nowadays does science not conceal! How much, at least, it is meant to conceal!
Friedrich Nietzsche
An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required--acting as though we do not see through the motivesof their actions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you want me to believe in your redeemer, you are going to have to look a lot more redeemed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Success has always been a great liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One ought to hold on to one's heart for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sit as little as possible. Give no credence to any thought that was not born outdoors while moving about freely.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we cannot stand certain people, we try to have suspicions about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The will to overcome an emotion, is ultimately only the will of another, or of several other, emotions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It's not the intensity of the man, but the duration of his intensity that makes the man great.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The beating of drums, which delights young writers who serve a party, sounds to him who does not belong to the party line like a rattling of chains, and excites sympathy rather than admiration.
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
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My formula for happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
