More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
On the heights it is warmer than those in the valley imagine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books that teach us to dance: There are writers who, by portraying the impossible as possible, and by speaking of morality and genius as if both were high-spirited freedom, as if man were rising up on tiptoe and simply had to dance out of inner pleasure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus had] the highest form of pride [stemming] from a certainty of belief in the truth as grasped by himself alone. He brings this form, by its excessive development, into a sublime pathos by involuntary identification of himself with his truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The hypocrite who always plays one and the same part ceases at last to be a hypocrite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience ultimately one must have one's experiences in common.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Indeed, what forces us at all to suppose that there is an essential opposition of 'true' and 'false'? Is it not sufficient to assume degrees of apparentness and, as it were, lighter and darker shadows and shades of appearance- different 'values', to use the language of painters?
Friedrich Nietzsche
What someone is, begins to be revealed when his talent abates, when he stops showing us what he can do.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is proud to worship when he cannot be an idol.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is good? ye ask. To be brave is good. Let the little girls say: To be good is what is pretty, and at the same time touching.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One's own self is well hidden from one's own self of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not a human being, I am dynamite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After Buddha was dead, his shadow was still shown for centuries in a cave.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Natural death is independent of all reason and is really an irrational death, in which the pitiable substance of the shell determines how long the kernel is to exist or not in which, accordingly, the stunted, diseased and dull witted jailer is lord, and indicates the moment at which his distinguished prisoner shall die.
Friedrich Nietzsche
