More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What is Genius?- To aspire to a lofty aim and to will the means to that aim.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What we call truths are just those errors that we cannot give up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are the terrible ones who carry about in themselves the beast of prey, and have no choice except lusts or self-laceration. And even their lusts are self-laceration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever gives advice to a sick person acquires a feeling of superiority over him, whether the advice be accepted or rejected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not a man, I am dynamite!
Friedrich Nietzsche
We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That is an artist as I would have an artist be, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art--panemet Circen.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a prejudice to think that morality is more favourable to the development of reason than immorality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Objectivity and justice have nothing to do with one another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who justifieth the future ones, and redeemeth the past ones: for he is willing to succumb through the present ones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we owe a friend to the lucky circumstance that we give him no cause for envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All that philosophers have handled for millennia has been conceptual mummies nothing actual has ever escaped from their hands alive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps man will rise ever higher as soon as he ceases to flow out into a god.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The shortest route is not the most direct one, but rather the one where the most favorable winds swell our sails:Mthat is the lesson that seafarers teach. Not to abide by this lesson is to be obstinate: here, firmness of character is tainted with stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Conversation with a friend will only bear good fruit of knowledge when both think only of the matter under consideration and forget that they are friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The press, the machine, the railway, the telegraph are premises whose thousand-year conclusion no one has yet dared to draw.
Friedrich Nietzsche
