Quote

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

More quotes by 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
Marriages that made out of love (so-called love-matches) have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When one does away with oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All rejection and negation indicates a deficiency in fertility: fundamentally, if only we were good plowland we would allow nothing to go unused, and in every thing, event, and person we would welcome manure, rain, or sunshine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If virtue goes to sleep, it will be more vigorous when it awakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche

If you want me to believe in your redeemer, you are going to have to look a lot more redeemed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Some men are born posthumously.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What verse is for the poet, dialectical thinking is for the philosopher. He grasps for it in order to get hold of his own enchantment, in order to perpetuate it.
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
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The usual false conclusions of mankind are these: a thing exists, therefore it has a right to exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Either one does not dream, or one does so interestingly. One should learn to spend one's waking life in the same way: not at all, or interestingly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The coward does not know what it means to be alone: an enemy is always standing behind his chair.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Pardon me, my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To learn from our enemies is the best pathway to loving them: for it makes us grateful to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge and we others will be his victims, if only in having always to endure his ugly sight. For the sight of the ugly makes one bad and gloomy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
