More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
A lack of the historical sense is the hereditary fault of all philosophers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is the only animal that must be encouraged to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Emerson is a person who lives instinctively on ambrosia - and leaves everything indigestible on his plate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a scholar of the old culture vows no longer to have anything to do with men who believe in progress, he is right. For the old culture has its greatness and goodness behind it, and an historical education forces one to admit that it can never again be fresh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One lives for the day, one lives very fast, one lives very irresponsibly: precisely this is called freedom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is most dishonest to one's god: he is not allowed to sin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who laboureth and inventeth, that he may build the house for the Superman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant: for thus seeketh he his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is thus only this personal feeling of misery that we get rid of by acts of pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Society tames the wolf into a dog. And man is the most domesticated animal of all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Robinson had a servant even better than Friday: His name was Crusoe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Original minds are not distinguished by being the first to see a new thing, but instead by seeing the old, familiar thing that is over-looked as something new.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What then in the last resort are the truths of mankind? They are the irrefutable errors of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, and the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough - I call it the one immortal blemish on the human race.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I might believe in the Redeemer if his followers looked more redeemed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Behind a remarkable scholar we not infrequently find an average human being, and behind an average artist we often find a very remarkable human being.
Friedrich Nietzsche
