For this remains as I have already pointed out the essential difference between the two religions of decadence : Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfils Christianity promises everything, but fulfils nothing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To think historically is almost the same thing now as if in all ages history had been made according to theory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Man Is Something That Must Be Overcome
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I enquire now as to the genesis of a philologist and assert the following: 1. A young man cannot possibly know what Greeks and Romans are. 2. He does not know whether he is suited for finding out about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We attack not only to hurt someone, to defeat him, but perhaps also simply to become conscious of our own strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Out of love, women become entirely what it is that they are in the imaginations of the men who love them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are various eyes. Even the Sphinx has eyes: and as a result there are various truths, and as a result there is no truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The patient. The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree to wait: and both without impatience: - they give no thought to the little people beneath them devoured by their impatience and their curiosity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Learn to see - accustoming the eye to calm, to patience, to letting-things-come-to-it learning to defer judgment, to encircle and encompass the question on all sides.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every word is a prejudice.
