More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The golden age, when rambunctious spirits were regarded as the source of evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian church is an encyclopedia of prehistoric cults.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The perfect woman perpetrates literature as she perpetrates a small sin: as an experiment, in passing, glancing around to see whether anybody notices--and to make sure that somebody notices.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Liberalism is the transformation of mankind into cattle.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So long as the priest, that professional negator, slanderer and poisoner of life, is regarded as a superior type of human being, there cannot be any answer to the question: What is Truth?
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Many deeds are done so as to forget another deed: there are also opiate activities. I exist so that another will be forgotten.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life their Christianity, for instance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Phlegmatic natures can be inspired to enthusiasm only by being made into fanatics.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to belong to the mass needs only to cease taking himself easily let him follow his conscience, which calls to him: Be your self! All you are now doing, thinking, desiring, is not you yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We believe that we know something about the things themselves when we speak of trees, colors, snow, and flowers and yet we possess nothing but metaphors for things - metaphors which correspond in no way to the original entities.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What we do in dreams we also do when we are awake: we invent and fabricate the person with whom we associate - and immediately forget we have done so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Go through the towns and ask yourselves whether these people should reproduce! Let them go to their whores!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some people do not become thinkers simply because their memories are too good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pity is extolled as the virtue of prostitutes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
