Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I teach you the Overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? ... The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our writing equipment takes part in forming our thoughts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman — a rope over an abyss.
