More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The noble type of man feels himself to be the determiner of values, he does not need to be approved of, he judges 'what harms me is harmful in itself', he knows himself to be that which in general accords honour to things, he creates values.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than the chance it provides them afterwards to offer their prescription for alleviating life their Christianity, for instance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who create are hard of heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A declaration of war on the masses by higher men is needed! ... Everything that makes soft and effeminate, that serves the end of the people or the feminine, works in favor of universal suffrage, i.e. the domination of the inferior men. But we should take reprisal and bring this whole affair to light and the bar of judgment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Few are made for independence, it is the privilege of the strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate you most because you attract, but are not strong enough to pull me to you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are the terrible ones who carry about in themselves the beast of prey, and have no choice except lusts or self-laceration. And even their lusts are self-laceration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An educator never says what he himself thinks, but only that which he thinks it is good for those whom he is educating to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Remain true to the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am almost equal to a shadow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Joy wants the eternity of all things, wants deep, wants deep eternity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
