More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
I would only believe in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity—through him all things fall. Not by wrath does one kill but by laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.Courageous, untroubled, mocking and violent-that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must separate from anything that forces one to repeat No again and again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O, what nowadays does science not conceal! How much, at least, it is meant to conceal!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mastery has been achieved when one neither makes a mistake nor hesitates in the performance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The enormous expectation having to do with sexual love and the shame involved in this expectation degrades all a woman's perspectives from the start.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not in our hands to prevent our birth but we can correct this mistake - for in some cases it is a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
