More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is the highest task and the proper metaphysical activity of this life.
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
There are two different types of people in the world, those who want to know, and those who want to believe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In pain there is as much wisdom as in pleasure: like the latter it is one of the best self preservatives of a species.
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
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time the light on the stars requires time deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Such a man as instinctively feeds on pure ambrosia and leaves alone the indigestible in things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those with certain temperaments find no way to endure themselves except by striving towards going under.
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
They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their food so that their mouths learn how to eat fire!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The sensible author writes for no other posterity than his own--that is, for his age--so as to be able even then to take pleasurein himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn't.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What? A great man? I only ever see the ape of his own ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I could only believe in a God who could dance... And now a God dances through me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch. Hence it is the greatest paradox in literature, the imperishable in the midst of change, the nourishment which always remains highly valued, as salt does, and never becomes stupid like salt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, there stands a mighty ruler. an unknown sage - whose name is self. In yourt body he dwells he is your body. There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The people we have employed in an undertaking that has turned out badly should be doubly rewarded.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage marks the end of many short follies - being one long stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
