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
On the heights it is warmer than those in the valley imagine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
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
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The reasons for which 'this' world has been characterized as 'apparent' are the very reasons which indicate its reality any other kind of reality is absolutely indemonstrable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
