More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who sees little always sees less than there is to see the man who hears badly always hears something more than there is to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The truth is ugly: we have art so as not to perish from the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality in Europe today is herd-morality
Friedrich Nietzsche
A reader is doubly guilty of bad manners against an author when he praises his second book at the expense of his first (or vice versa) and then expects the author to be grateful for what he has done.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering
Friedrich Nietzsche
The reason adultery is immoral is that it might lead to marriage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Improvements are invented only by those who can feel that something is not good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in truth begins with doubting all that has hitherto been believed to be true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beauty is for the artist something outside all orders of rank, because in beauty opposites are tamed the highest sign of power, namely power over opposites moreover, without tension: - that violence is no longer needed: that everything follows, obeys, so easily and so pleasantly - that is what delights the artist's WILL TO POWER.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The State is the coldest of all cold monsters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who create are hard of heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some men have sighed over the abduction of their wives, but many more have sighed because no one wanted to abduct theirs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
