More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The author must keep his mouth shut when his work starts to speak.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith means the will to avoid knowing what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our knowledge will take its revenge on us, just as ignorance exacted its revenge during the Middle Ages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The soul must have its chosen sewers to carry away its ordure. This function is performed by persons, relationships, professions, the fatherland, the world, or finally, for the really arrogant - I mean our modern pessimists - by the Good God himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Body am I, and soul - so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children?
Friedrich Nietzsche
There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones it all depends on how you use them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To be the equal of one's opponent-this is the first condition of an honourable duel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The consequences of our actions take hold of us, quite indifferent to our claim that meanwhile we have 'improved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One's own self is well hidden from one's own self of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Living in a constant chase after gain compels people to expend their spirit to the point of exhaustion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We must take precautions against being prematurely honed sharp--since at the same time we are being prematurely honed thin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
