More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Many deeds are done so as to forget another deed: there are also opiate activities. I exist so that another will be forgotten.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The world is a work of art that gives birth to itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beauty is for the artist something outside all orders of rank, because in beauty opposites are tamed the highest sign of power, namely power over opposites moreover, without tension: - that violence is no longer needed: that everything follows, obeys, so easily and so pleasantly - that is what delights the artist's WILL TO POWER.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Someone who does not write books, who thinks a lot, and who lives in unsatisfying society will usually be a good letter- writer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not to everyone's taste that truth should be pronounced pleasant. But at least let no one believe that error becomes truth when it is pronounced unpleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That is the most extreme form of nihilism: nothingness (the meaningless) eternally!
Friedrich Nietzsche
God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space - how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life, and you, and I, and all of us together became for a while interesing to ourselves once more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Evil men have no songs.” How is it, then, that the Russians have songs?
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you know the why, you can live any how.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One will seldom go wrong if one attributes extreme actions to vanity, average ones to habit, and pretty ones to fear.
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
I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
