More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
whatever is profound loves masks what is most profound even hates image and parable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Where there is the tree of knowledge, there is always Paradise: so say the most ancient and most modern serpents.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever has overthrown an existing law of custom has always first been accounted a bad man: but when, as did happen, the law could not afterwards be reinstated and this fact was accepted, the predicate gradually changed - history treats almost exclusively of these bad men who subsequently became good men!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man's task is simple. He should cease letting his existence be a thoughtless accident.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One cannot read the New Testament without acquired admiration for whatever it abuses not to speak of the wisdom of this world, which an impudent wind bag tries to dispose of by the foolishness of preaching.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge - and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves - how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When one gives up Christian belief one thereby deprives oneself of the right to Christian morality. For the latter is absolutely not self-evident: one must make this point clear again and again, in spite of English shallowpates.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You must be born for your physician, otherwise you are bound to perish because of your physician.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When anyone apologizes to us he has to do it very expertly: otherwise we might easily come to see ourselves as the guilty party and experience unpleasant feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What the philosopher is seeking is not truth, but rather the metamorphosis of the world into man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
At one time or another, almost every politician needs an honest man so badly that, like a ravenous wolf, he breaks into a sheep-fold: not to devour the ram he has stolen, however, but rather to conceal himself behind its wooly back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We forget our guilt when we have confessed it to another, but the other does not usually forget it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Virtues are dangerous as vices insofar as they are allowed to rule over one as authorities and not as qualities one develops oneself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The Refinement of Shame. People are not ashamed to think something foul, but they are ashamed when they think these foul thoughts are attributed to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
On every parable you ride to every truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
