More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
In a seriously intended intellectual emancipation a person's mute passions and cravings also hope to find their advantage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However unchristian it may seem, I do not even bear any ill feeling towards myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which intoxicates, the sensually ecstatic, the sudden surprise, the urge to be profoundly stirred at any price -- dreadful tendencies!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god but who knows my god?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I admire the courage and wisdom of Socrates in everything he did, said--and did not say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Robinson had a servant even better than Friday: His name was Crusoe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
