More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed. -In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The melancholia of everything completed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who scattereth golden words in advance of his deeds, and always doeth more than he promiseth: for he seeketh his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anti-theses.- The most senile thing ever thought about man is contained in the celebrated saying 'the ego is always hateful' the most childish is the even more celebrated 'love thy neighbor as thyself'. - In the former, knowledge of human nature has ceased, in the latter it has not yet even begun.
Friedrich Nietzsche
truths are illusions of which one has forgotten that they are illusions, metaphors that have become worn-out and deprived of their sensuous force, coins that have lost their imprint and are now no longer seen as coins but as metal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who denies his own vanity usually possesses it in so brutal a form that he instinctively shuts his eyes to avoid the necessity of despising himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ego, sayest thou, and art proud of that word. But the greater thing - in which thou art unwilling to believe - is thy body with its big sagacity it saith not ego, but doeth it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When anyone apologizes to us he has to do it very expertly: otherwise we might easily come to see ourselves as the guilty party and experience unpleasant feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Friedrich Nietzsche
I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who thinks a great deal is not suited to be a party man: he thinks his way through the party and out the other side too soon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Bach there is still too much crude Christianity, crude Germanism, crude scholasticism he stands on the threshold of European (modern) music, but he looks back from there to the Middle Ages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
