More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you buy the why, the how is infinitely bearable
Friedrich Nietzsche
Almost two thousand years, and no new god!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever we think about and question a lot becomes questionable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ten times must you laugh during the day, and be cheerful otherwise your stomach, the father of affliction, will disturb you in the night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If that glad message of your Bible were written in your faces, you would not need to demand belief in the authority of that book in such stiff-necked fashion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is perhaps nothing so admirable in Christianity and Buddhism as their art of teaching even the lowest to elevate themselves by piety to a seemingly higher order of things, and thereby to retain their satisfaction with the actual world in which they find it difficult enough to live - this very difficulty being necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is bad? -Everything that arises from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You must climb above yourself-up and beyond, until you have even your stars under you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However closely people are attached to one another, their mutual horizon nonetheless includes all four compass directions, and nowand again they notice it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What an age experiences as evil is usually an untimely reverberation echoing what was previously experienced as good--the atavismof an older ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For a significant man woman, the one thought he values greatly, to the laughter and scorn of insignificant men, is a key to hidden treasure chambers for those others, it is nothing but a piece of old iron.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Narrow souls I cannot abide There's almost no good or evil inside
Friedrich Nietzsche
