Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You say a good cause justifies any war but I say a good war justifies any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche

The hour-hand of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare? ... that became for me more and more the real measure of value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race can no more be exterminated than the flea can be. The last man lives the longest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When the gratitude that many owe to one discards all modesty, then there is fame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A philosophical mythology lies concealed in language, which breaks out again at every moment, no matter how cautious we may be.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We ought to face our destiny with courage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who laboureth and inventeth, that he may build the house for the Superman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant: for thus seeketh he his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who does not need to lie is proud of not being a liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
