More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity, alcohol the two great means of corruption.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God created woman. And boredom did indeed cease from that moment-but many other things ceased as well!
Friedrich Nietzsche
i have never pondered over questions that are not questions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience ultimately one must have one's experiences in common.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many brief follies--that is what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many brief follies, with a single long stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is bad? All that proceeds from weakness
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it is harder to accede to a thing than it is to see its truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not a man, I am dynamite!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this truth, a most welcome veil over a pudendum--and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
It is a prejudice to think that morality is more favourable to the development of reason than immorality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In order for once to get a glimpse of our European morality from a distance, in order to compare it with other earlier or future moralities, one must do as the traveller who wants to know the height of the towers of a city: he leaves the city.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who sees little always sees less than there is to see the man who hears badly always hears something more than there is to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Silence is worse all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But are there many honest people who will admit that it is pleasing to give pain?
Friedrich Nietzsche
