More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great works are produced in such an ecstasy of love that they must always be unworthy of it, however great their worth otherwise.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At one time or another, almost every politician needs an honest man so badly that, like a ravenous wolf, he breaks into a sheep-fold: not to devour the ram he has stolen, however, but rather to conceal himself behind its wooly back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is inhuman to bless where one is cursed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a man reaches his maturity in understanding and in years, the feeling comes over him that his father was wrong to beget him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Science rushes headlong, without selectivity, without taste, at whatever is knowable, in the blind desire to know all at any cost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The earth has a skin and that skin has diseases one of its diseases is called man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The snake that cannot shed its skin perishes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
Friedrich Nietzsche
