Image
He turns all of his injuries into strengths, that which does not kill him makes him stronger, he is superman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
Lift up your hearts, my brothers, high, higher! And don't forget about your legs either! Lift up your legs as well, you good dancers, and better yet--stand also on your heads!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The usual false conclusions of mankind are these: a thing exists, therefore it has a right to exist.

The love of truth has its reward in heaven and even on earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We ought to learn from the kine one thing: ruminating.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever is related to me in the height of his aspirations will experience veritable ecstasies of learning for I come from heights that no bird ever reached in its flight, I know abysses into which no foot ever strayed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Higher than thou shalt stands I will (the heroes), and higher than I will stands I am (the Greek gods).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I obviously do everything to be hard to understand myself
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus had] pride not in logical knowledge but rather in intuitive grasping of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Living in a constant chase after gain compels people to expend their spirit to the point of exhaustion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The gilded sheath of pity sometimes covers the dagger of envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All rejection and negation indicates a deficiency in fertility: fundamentally, if only we were good plowland we would allow nothing to go unused, and in every thing, event, and person we would welcome manure, rain, or sunshine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
