More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Silence is worse all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A woman does not want the truth what is truth to women? From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You may have enemies whom you hate, but not enemies whom you despise. You must be proud of your enemy: then the success of your enemy shall be your success too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who are slow to know suppose that slowness is the essence of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are more idols than realities in the world: that is my evil eye for this world, which is also my evil ear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed. -In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Impoliteness is frequently the sign of an awkward modesty that loses its head when surprised and hopes to conceal this with rudeness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can promise actions, but not feelings, for the latter are involuntary. He who promises to love forever or hate forever or be forever faithful to someone is promising something that is not in his power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is a stupid humility that is quite common and when a person is afflicted with it, he is once and for all disqualified for being a disciple of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strongest have their moments of fatigue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever a theologian regards as true must be false: there you have almost a criterion of truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the greatest thing ye can experience? It is the hour of great contempt. The hour in which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so also your reason and virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many die too late, and some die too early. Yet strangers soundeth the precept: Die at the right time!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
