Quote

There is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Only he who is man enough will release the woman in woman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All religions bear traces of the fact that they arose during the intellectual immaturity of the human race - before it had learned the obligations to speak the truth. Not one of them makes it the duty of its god to be truthful and understandable in his communications.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Few are made for independence, it is the privilege of the strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The thought is merely a sign, as the word is merely a sign for the thought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Above all, there is no exception to this rule: that the idea of political superiority always resolves itself into the idea of psychological superiority.
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
I have forgotten my umbrella.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We should turn our death into a celebration, even if only out of a malice towards life: towards the woman who wants to leave--us!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The Greeks, with their truly healthy culture, have once and for all justified philosophy simply by having engaged in it, and having engaged in it more fully than any other people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must give value to their existence by behaving as if ones very existence were a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every week we ought to have one hour for recieving letters, then go take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
truths are illusions of which one has forgotten that they are illusions, metaphors that have become worn-out and deprived of their sensuous force, coins that have lost their imprint and are now no longer seen as coins but as metal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Marriages that made out of love (so-called love-matches) have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
