More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A change of values - that means, a change of the creators of values. He who has to be a creator always has to destroy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a self-deception of philosophers and moralists to imagine that they escape decadence by opposing it. That is beyond their will and, however little they acknowledge it, one later discovers that they were among the most powerful promoters of decadence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Above all, there is no exception to this rule: that the idea of political superiority always resolves itself into the idea of psychological superiority.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
there they laugh: they do not understand me I am not the mouth for these ears.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The beautiful exists just as little as the true. In every case it is a question of the conditions of preservation of a certain type of man: thus the herd-man will experience the value feeling of the true in different things than will the overman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our writing equipment takes part in forming our thoughts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not give alms I am not poor enough for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My conception of freedom. — The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have not come to know atheism as a result of logical reasoning and still less as an event in my life: in me it is a matter of instinct.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god but who knows my god?
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who does not need to lie is proud of not being a liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The definition of morality: Morality is the idiosyncrasy of decadents having the hidden desire to revenge themselves upon life - and being successful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We come to recognize that playfulness, as a philosophical stance, can be very serious indeed and moreover, that it possesses an unfailing capacity to arouse ridicule and hostility in those among us who crave certainty, reverence, and restraint.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
