Image
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes in conversation the sound of our own voice distracts us and misleads us into making assertions that in no way express our true opinions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The greatest cure for love is still that time honoured medicine - love returned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When a man is in love he endures more than at other times he submits to everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A good writer possesses not only his own spirit but also the spirit of his friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What do you believe in?--In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Higher than thou shalt stands I will (the heroes), and higher than I will stands I am (the Greek gods).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
New ways I go, a new speech comes to me weary I grow, like all creators, of the old tongues. My spirit no longer wants to walk on worn soles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Was aus Liebe getan wird, geschieht immer jenseits von Gut und Böse. (What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.)
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There did he sit shrivelled in his chimney corner, fretting on account of his weak legs, world weary, will weary, and one day he suffocated through his excessive pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Live dangerously. Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are highly gifted spirits who are always infertile simply because, owing to a weakness in temperament, they are too impatient to wait out their pregnancy to term.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Lust and self-mutilation are closely related impulses. There are also self-mutilators among knowers: they do not want to be creators under any circumstances.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
