Image
My conception of freedom. — The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Women are constituted in such a way that all truth (regarding men, love, children, society, the purpose of life) disgusts them, and in such a way that they try to revenge themselves on anyone who opens their eyes.
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
Image
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Many people, especially women, never experience boredom because they have never learned to work properly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
How far is truth susceptible of embodiment? That is the question, that is the experiment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
You must climb above yourself-up and beyond, until you have even your stars under you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It quite often happens that the old man is subject to the delusion of a great moral renewal and rebirth, and from this experience he passes judgments on the work and course of his life, as if he had only now become clear-sighted and yet the inspiration behind this feeling of well-being and these confident judgements is not wisdom, but weariness .
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The trodden worm curls up. This testifies to its caution. It thus reduces its chances of being trodden upon again. In the language of morality: Humility.
