Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
When I seek another word for 'music', I never find any other word than 'Venice'
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Great intellects are skeptical.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race can no more be exterminated than the flea can be. The last man lives the longest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Immortal is the moment when I engendered the recurrence. For the sake of this moment I bear the recurrence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.
Friedrich Nietzsche
