More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
As refined fare serves a hungry man as well as and no better than coarser food, the more pretentious artist will not dream of inviting the hungry man to his meal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Evaluation is creation: hear it, you creators! Evaluating is itself the most valuable treasure of all that we value. It is only through evaluation that value exists: and without evaluation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, you creators!
Friedrich Nietzsche
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeketh to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark and deep — into the evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One day soon you will meet a man, and he will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and it is my greatest hope that he will not give you syphilis.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For as long as they praise you, never forget that it is not yet your own path that you walk, but another person's.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let old ones go. Dont be a memory-monger! Once you were young──now you are even younger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The relatives of a suicide hold it against him that out of consideration for their reputation he did not remain alive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most intelligent men, like the strongest, find their happiness where others would find only disaster: in the labyrinth, in being hard with themselves and with others, in effort their delight is self-mastery in them asceticism becomes second nature, a necessity, as instinct.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure only the Englishman does.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When good friends praise a gifted person he often appears to be delighted with them out of politeness and goodwill, but in reality he feels indifferent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I no longer want to walk on worn soles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If a temple is to be erected, a temple must be destroyed .
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anti-theses.- The most senile thing ever thought about man is contained in the celebrated saying 'the ego is always hateful' the most childish is the even more celebrated 'love thy neighbor as thyself'. - In the former, knowledge of human nature has ceased, in the latter it has not yet even begun.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It takes physical courage to indulge in wickedness. The good are too cowardly to do it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O my brothers, am I then cruel? But I say: that which is falling should also be pushed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
