Friedrich Nietzsche
Every profound spirit needs a mask: even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concepts soul, spirit and last of all the concept immortal soul were invented in order to despise the body, in order to make it sick - holy - in order to cultivate an attitude of appalling disrespect for all things in life which deserve to be treated seriously i.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once the decision has been made, close your ear even to the best counter argument: sign of a strong character. Thus an occasional will to stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Socrates ... is the first philosopher of life [Lebensphilosoph], ... Thinking serves life, while among all previous philosophers life had served thought and knowledge. ... Thus Socratic philosophy is absolutely practical: it is hostile to all knowledge unconnected to ethical implications.
Friedrich Nietzsche
