Friedrich Nietzsche
Men are cowards when it comes to the eternally feminine: and the little women know it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall only have foes to be hated but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I obviously do everything to be hard to understand myself
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have hitherto believed that life was one of the highest value and now see yourselves disappointed, do you at once have to reduce it to the lowest possible price?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes in our relationship to another human being the proper balance of friendship is restored when we put a few grains of impropriety onto our own side of the scale.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it is harder to accede to a thing than it is to see its truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
