More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The world is poor for him who has never been sick enough for this 'voluptuousness of hell
Friedrich Nietzsche
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
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
Whoever has overthrown an existing law of custom has always first been accounted a bad man: but when, as did happen, the law could not afterwards be reinstated and this fact was accepted, the predicate gradually changed - history treats almost exclusively of these bad men who subsequently became good men!
Friedrich Nietzsche
How poisonous, how crafty, how bad, does every long war make one, which cannot be waged openly by means of force!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The domestication (the culture) of man does not go deep--where it does go deep it at once becomes degeneration (type: the Christian). The 'savage' (or, in moral terms, the evil man) is a return to nature--and in a certain sense his recovery, his cure from 'culture'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Objectivity and justice have nothing to do with one another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The elimination of the will altogether and the switching off of the emotions all and sundry, is tantamount to the elimination of reason: intellectual castration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Genuine historical knowledge requires nobility of character, a profound understanding of human existence - not detachment and objectivity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps man will rise ever higher as soon as he ceases to flow out into a god.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do not be deceived! The busiest people harbor the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness--they no longer have the capacity for waiting and idleness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The world is beautiful, but has a disease called man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not wish to enjoy where one does not give joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Woman was God's second mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My time has not yet come either some are born posthumously.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Body am I, and soul - so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who chasteneth his God, because he loveth his God: for he must succumb through the wrath of his God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
