More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When Zarathustra was alone . . . he said to his heart: Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality in Europe today is herd-morality
Friedrich Nietzsche
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
As soon as we climb higher than those who had at one time admired us, we appear to them as though we have sunken and fallen down:for, in any event, they had at one time supposed that they were with us (even if it were through us) on the heights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What we call truths are just those errors that we cannot give up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can lie with the mouth, but with the accompanying grimace one nevertheless tells the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Evil men have no songs.” How is it, then, that the Russians have songs?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I desire that your conjectures should not reach beyond your creative will. Could you create a god? Then do not speak to me of any gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
