More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest giver of alms is cowardice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Be careful when you fight the monsters, lest you become one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Poets and writers who are in love with the superlative all want to do more than they can.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The danger in happiness - Now everything is turning out right for me from now on i'll love every turn of fate - Who wants to be my fate?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Among the wealthy, generosity is often merely a kind of shyness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The wreckage of stars - I built a world from this wreckage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No one lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.
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
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
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
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Emerson is a person who lives instinctively on ambrosia - and leaves everything indigestible on his plate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why is it that wellnesses are not as contagious as illnesses--generally speaking, but also especially regarding taste? Or are there epidemics of health?
Friedrich Nietzsche
If one seeks relief from unbearable pressure, one is to eat hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One has to know the size of one's stomach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
