More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
They muddy the water, to make it seem deep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Posthumous men-myself, for example-are not as well understood as timely ones, but we are listened to better. More precisely: we are never understood-hence our authority.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a woman has scholarly inclinations there is usually something wrong with her sexuality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The arrogance that accompanies merit offends us even more than the arrogance of people who are lacking in merit: since merit itself offends us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Youth is an unpleasant period for then it is not possible or not prudent to be productive in any sense whatsoever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
History belongs above all to the man...who needs models, teachers, comforters and cannot find them among his contemporaries.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only great pain is, as the teacher of great suspicion, the ultimate liberator of the spirit...I doubt whether such pain improves us-but I do know it deepens us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of many men and books rests solely on their faculty for compelling all to seek out the most hidden and intimate things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The familiarity of superiors embitters one, because it may not be returned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The way to transmute your iron duty into gold in everyone's eyes is this: always deliver more than you promise.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If an architect wants to strengthen a decrepit arch, he increases the load laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together.
Friedrich Nietzsche
