More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The sensible author writes for no other posterity than his own--that is, for his age--so as to be able even then to take pleasurein himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must know how to conserve oneself- the best test of independence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The doer is merely a fiction added to the deed ? the deed is everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Antithesis is the narrow gateway through which error most prefers to worm its way towards truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine, like a precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If one seeks relief from unbearable pressure, one is to eat hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate you most because you attract, but are not strong enough to pull me to you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And so while dreams are the individual man's play with reality, the sculptor's art is (in a broader sense) the play with dreams.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One hears - one does not seek one takes - one does not ask who gives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required--acting as though we do not see through the motivesof their actions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Dreadful experiences raise the question whether he who experiences them, is not something dreadful also.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is-cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To be the equal of one's opponent-this is the first condition of an honourable duel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
