That which does not destroy, strengthens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
People live for the morrow, because the day-after-to-morrow is doubtful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every great love brings with it the cruel idea of killing the object of its love so that it may be removed once and for all from the wicked game of change: for love dreads change even more than annihilation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Where one despises, one cannot wage war.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One has renounced the great life when one renounces war.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
In order to be somebody you have to hold even your shadow in high regard.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Life without music is only error, exhaustion, exile... Indeed, there is nothing that concerns me more than the fate of music.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is good? All that enhances the feeling of power, the Will to Power, and power itself in man. What is bad? — All that proceeds from weakness. What is happiness? — The feeling that power is increasing — that resistance has been overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Verily, I do not like them, the merciful who feel blessed in their pity: they are lacking too much in shame. If I must pity, at least I do not want it known and if I do pity, it is preferably from a distance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Too long, the earth has been a madhouse!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everything is the same, nothing is worthwhile, the world is senseless, knowledge strangles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
At bottom every man knows well enough that he is a unique being, only once on this earth and by no extraordinary chance will such a marvelously picturesque piece of diversity in unity as he is, ever be put together a second time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
