More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of life itself cannot be estimated.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Unpleasant, even dangerous, qualities can be found in every nation and every individual: it is cruel to demand that the Jew be an exception. In him, these qualities may even be dangerous and revolting to an unusual degree and perhaps the young stock-exchange Jew is altogether the most disgusting invention of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All beings so far have created something beyond themselves and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One ought to hold on to one's heart for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As refined fare serves a hungry man as well as and no better than coarser food, the more pretentious artist will not dream of inviting the hungry man to his meal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Fanatics are picturesque, mankind would rather see gestures than listen to reasons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a man reaches his maturity in understanding and in years, the feeling comes over him that his father was wrong to beget him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything is the same, nothing is worthwhile, the world is senseless, knowledge strangles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And if ye cannot be saints of knowledge, then, I pray you, be at least its warriors. They are the companions and forerunners of such saintship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions--as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thinking evil is making evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are doubly willing to jump into the water after some one who has fallen in, if there are people present who have not the courage to do so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful things: both do not want to be sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Envy and jealousy are the private parts of the human soul. Perhaps the comparison can be extended.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is no pre-established harmony between the furtherance of truth and the well-being of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
