More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Real dancers are the ones who can hear the music in their soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In compassionate men, severity is a virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The perfect woman is a higher type of humanity than the perfect man, and also something much rarer. The natural history of animals furnishes grounds in support of this theory.
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
When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You must be born for your physician, otherwise you are bound to perish because of your physician.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In magnanimity there is the same amount of egoism as in revenge, but egoism of a different quality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That is the most extreme form of nihilism: nothingness (the meaningless) eternally!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It takes physical courage to indulge in wickedness. The good are too cowardly to do it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not to him who is offensive to us are we most unfair, but to him who doth not concern us at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is man merely a mistake of God's? Or God merely a mistake of man?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every week we ought to have one hour for recieving letters, then go take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In pain there is as much wisdom as in pleasure: like the latter it is one of the best self preservatives of a species.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women want to serve, and this is where their happiness lies: but the free spirit does not want to be served, and this is where hishappiness lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge - and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves - how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever gives advice to a sick person acquires a feeling of superiority over him, whether the advice be accepted or rejected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing--that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
