More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
All beings so far have created something beyond themselves and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Learn to laugh at yourselves as one must laugh!
Friedrich Nietzsche
God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Courage is the best slayer - courage which attacketh, for in every attack there is the sound of triumph.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The good four. Honest with ourselves and with whatever is friend to us courageous toward the enemy generous toward the vanquished polite-always that is how the four cardinal virtues want us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the true man there is a child concealed who wants to play.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The world is a work of art that gives birth to itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our destiny exercises its influence over us even when, as yet, we have not learned its nature: it is our future that lays down the law of our today
Friedrich Nietzsche
The rising and falling of the scales of pride and humility sustain the brooding mind as well as the alternations of desire and peace of the soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have hitherto believed that life was one of the highest value and now see yourselves disappointed, do you at once have to reduce it to the lowest possible price?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
That little hypocrites and half-crazed people dare to imagine that on their account the laws of nature are constantly broken such an enhancement of every kind of selfishness to infinity, to impudence, cannot be branded with sufficient contempt. And yet Christianity owes its triumph to this pitiable flattery of personal vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is possible to imagine a society flushed with such a sense of power that it could afford to let its offenders go unpunished.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not doubt,is certitude that drives you mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is our needs that interpret the world our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all other drives to accept as a norm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pardon me, my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian resolution to find the world ugly and bad has made the world ugly and bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are two different types of people in the world, those who want to know, and those who want to believe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
