More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith as an imperative is a veto against science-in praxi, it means lies at any price.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
Creating-that is the great salvation from suffering, and life's alleviation. But for the creator to appear, suffering itself is needed, and much transformation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The most unambiguous sign that a person holds men in low esteem is this, that he either acknowledges them merely as means to his ends or does not acknowledge them at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Once blasphemy again God was the greatest blasphemy but God died, and thereupon those blasphemers died too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I could only believe in a God who could dance... And now a God dances through me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The thought is merely a sign, as the word is merely a sign for the thought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Acknowledge your will and speak to us all, This alone is what I will to be! Hang your own penal code up above you: we want to be its enforcers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The pure soul is a pure lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
as though the Truth were such an innocent and incompetent creature as to require protectors!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Unexplained, obscure matters are regarded as more important than explained, clear ones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word and the third, a good deed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Moderation sees itself as beautiful it is unaware that in the eye of the immoderate it appears black and sober and consequently ugly-looking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If virtue goes to sleep, it will be more vigorous when it awakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
