More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is no doubt possible to fly--but first you must know how to dance like an angel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That lies should be necessary to life is part and parcel of the terrible and questionable character of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is only those who know how to feel that this is not good who devise improvements.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We should conserve evil just as we should conserve the forests. It is true that by thinning and clearing the forests the earth grew warmer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The wheel and the brake have different duties, but also one in common: to hurt one another.
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
The greatest giver of alms is cowardice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore?
Friedrich Nietzsche
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time the light on the stars requires time deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Most of the time in married life is taken up by talk.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be man!
Friedrich Nietzsche
In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And if you are not a bird, then beware of coming to rest above an abyss.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Principle of Christian love: it insists upon being well paid in the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
Friedrich Nietzsche
