Quote

For all things are baptized at the font of eternity, and beyond good and evil good and evil themselves, however, are but intervening shadows and damp afflictions and passing clouds.

There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour, and who then asketh: Am I a dishonest player? - for he is willing to succumb.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Ye are ugly? Well then, my brethren, take the sublime about you, the mantle of the ugly!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
State, I call it, where they all drink poison, the good and the wicked state, where they all lose themselves, the good and the wicked state, where they all call their slow suicide-life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One pays dearly for being immortal: one must die many times during his life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
From whatever you wish to know and measure you must take your leave, at least for a time. Only when you have left the town can yousee how high its towers rise above the houses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Lift up your hearts, my brothers, high, higher! And don't forget about your legs either! Lift up your legs as well, you good dancers, and better yet--stand also on your heads!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who knoweth the reader, doeth nothing more for the reader. Another century of readers - and spirit itself will stink.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those who cannot understand how to put their thoughts on ice should not enter into the heat of debate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Youth is an unpleasant period for then it is not possible or not prudent to be productive in any sense whatsoever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The ability to suffer is a small matter - weak women and even slaves can acheive virtuosity in that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The same passions in man and woman nonetheless differ in tempo hence man and woman do not cease misunderstanding one another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The love of truth has its reward in heaven and even on earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I fear that, with our current veneration for the natural and the real, we have arrived at the opposite pole to all idealism, and have landed in the region of the waxworks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch. Hence it is the greatest paradox in literature, the imperishable in the midst of change, the nourishment which always remains highly valued, as salt does, and never becomes stupid like salt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Towards gnats and fleas we should show no pity. We would do right to hang petty thieves, petty calumniators, and slanderers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It quite often happens that the old man is subject to the delusion of a great moral renewal and rebirth, and from this experience he passes judgments on the work and course of his life, as if he had only now become clear-sighted and yet the inspiration behind this feeling of well-being and these confident judgements is not wisdom, but weariness .
