More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Envy and jealousy are the private parts of the human soul. Perhaps the comparison can be extended.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So far there has been no philosopher in whose hands philosophy has not grown into an apology for knowledge on this point, at least, every one is an optimist, that the greatest usefulness must be ascribed to knowledge. They are all tyrannized over by logic, and this is optimism in its essence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If that glad message of your Bible were written in your faces, you would not need to demand belief in the authority of that book in such stiff-necked fashion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies, bullfights, and crucifixions he has so far felt best on earth and when he invented hell for himself, behold, that was his very heaven.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Worldly Wisdom Do not stay in the field! Nor climb out of sight. The best view of the world Is from a medium height.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?--Yes, we should believe it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To have and to want more that is life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die. As well the minds which are prevented from changing their opinions they cease to be mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The English are the people of consummate cant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That whatever a man says, promises, or resolves in passion he must stick to later on when he is cold and sober--this demand is among the heaviest burdens that weigh on humankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering
Friedrich Nietzsche
No artist tolerates reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed. -In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
love as a passion—it is our European specialty—must absolutely be of noble origin as is well known, its invention is due to the Provencal poet-cavaliers, those brilliant, ingenious men of the gai saber, to whom Europe owes so much, and almost owes itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
