More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great works are produced in such an ecstasy of love that they must always be unworthy of it, however great their worth otherwise.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is one thing one has to have either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Who is better, they who promote truth over happiness, or happiness over truth?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The beautiful exists just as little as the true. In every case it is a question of the conditions of preservation of a certain type of man: thus the herd-man will experience the value feeling of the true in different things than will the overman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything becomes and recurs eternally - escape is impossible!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The apprentice and the master love the master in different ways.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Denn was ist Freiheit? Dasz man den Willen zur Selbstverantwortlichkeit hat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If a man wishes to become a hero, then the serpent must first become a dragon: otherwise he lacks his proper enemy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great intellects are skeptical.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are in the greatest danger of being run over when we have just gotten out of the way of a carriage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You may have enemies whom you hate, but not enemies whom you despise. You must be proud of your enemy: then the success of your enemy shall be your success too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Science rushes headlong, without selectivity, without taste, at whatever is knowable, in the blind desire to know all at any cost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Spiritual strength and passion, when accompanied by bad manners, only provoke loathing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
