More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The truthful man ends up realizing that he always lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Success has always been a great liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A reader is doubly guilty of bad manners against an author when he praises his second book at the expense of his first (or vice versa) and then expects the author to be grateful for what he has done.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Exhaustion is the shortest way to equality and fraternity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our destiny rules over us, even when we are not yet aware of it it is the future that makes laws for our today.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope, in its stronger forms, is a great deal more powerful stimulans to life than any sort of realized joy can ever be. Man must be sustained in suffering by a hope so high that no conflict with actuality can dash it - so high, indeed, that no fulfilment can satisfy it: a hope reaching out beyond this world.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is certain that the Jew, if he desired-or if they were driven to it, as the antisemites seem to wish-could now have the ascendancy, nay, literally the supremacy, over Europe that they are not working or planning for that end is equally sure... The resourcefulness of the modern Jews, both in mind and soul, is extraordinary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.
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
It is not to everyone's taste that truth should be pronounced pleasant. But at least let no one believe that error becomes truth when it is pronounced unpleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more wisdom in your body than in your best wisdom. And who then knows why your body needs precisely your best wisdom?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever possesses abundant joy must be a good man: but he is probably not the cleverest man, although he achieves exactly what it is that the cleverest man strives with all his cleverness to achieve.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why couldn't the world that concerns us- be a fiction? And if somebody asked, 'but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?'- couldn't one answer simply: 'Why? Doesn't this belongs perhaps belong to the fiction, too?'
Friedrich Nietzsche
That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe-the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
Friedrich Nietzsche
