More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not want to be like the ropemakers: They drag out their threads and always walk backwards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You implanted your highest goal into the heart of those passions: then they became your virtues and joys.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the fundamental idea of culture, insofar as it sets but one task for each of us: to further the production of the philosopher, of the artist, and of the saint within us and outside us, and thereby to work at the consummation of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concepts beyond and real world were invented in order to depreciate the only world that exists-in order that no goal, no aim or task might be left for our earthly reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every man has his price. This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A declaration of war on the masses by higher men is needed! ... Everything that makes soft and effeminate, that serves the end of the people or the feminine, works in favor of universal suffrage, i.e. the domination of the inferior men. But we should take reprisal and bring this whole affair to light and the bar of judgment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To one who is accustomed to thinking a lot, every new thought that he hears or reads about immediately appears as a link in a chain.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No journey is too great, when one finds what one seeks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All parties attempt to represent important things that have developed outside themselves as unimportant, and where they fail in this they assail those things all the more bitterly the more admirable they are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Contentment preserves one from catching cold. Has a woman who knew that she was well dressed ever caught a cold? No, not even when she had scarcely a rag on her back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only where there are graves are there resurrections.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When anyone apologizes to us he has to do it very expertly: otherwise we might easily come to see ourselves as the guilty party and experience unpleasant feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What separates two people most profoundly is a different sense and degree of cleanliness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I mistrust all systematizers and avoid them. the will to a system is a lack of integrity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Inaction, letting be, neither creating nor destroying--that is my evil. And also the knower as one without desire.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An educator never says what he himself thinks, but only that which he thinks it is good for those whom he is educating to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
