More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Books for general reading always smell bad the odor of common people hangs around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right --especially when one is right.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything that is profound loves the mask: the profoundest things have a hatred even of figure and likeness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus had] pride not in logical knowledge but rather in intuitive grasping of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All good things were formerly bad things every original sin has turned into an original virtue.

Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you are too weak to give yourselves your own law, then a tyrant shall lay his yoke upon you and say: Obey! Clench your teeth and obey! And all good and evil shall be drowned in obedience to him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In short, then, the religious cult is based upon the representations of sorcery between man and man, and the sorcerer is older than the priest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must know how to conserve oneself- the best test of independence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I might believe in the Redeemer if his followers looked more redeemed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Are you one who looks on? or lends a hand? - or who looks away, sidles off?...Third question for the conscience.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the whole of the New Testament there is not one joke, that fact alone would invalidate any book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to happiness as goal).
Friedrich Nietzsche
In affability there is no hatred of men, but for that very reason there is all too much contempt for men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never trust a thought that didn't come by walking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
