We are all afraid of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Respectability offends my taste.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One is punished best for one's virtues.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is regrettable that a Dostoyevsky did not live near this most interesting of all decadents (Jesus Christ) - I mean someone who would have known how to sense the very stirring charm of such a mixture of the sublime, the sickly, and the childlike.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Nothing in life possesses value except the degree of power--assuming that life itself is the will to power.

Image
The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption, but how near or distant that is, nobody knows- not even God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The love of truth has its reward in heaven and even on earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Woman was God's second mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
On the heights it is warmer than those in the valley imagine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The sick are the greatest danger for the healthy it is not from the strongest that harm comes to the strong, but from the weakest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A reader is doubly guilty of bad manners against an author when he praises his second book at the expense of his first (or vice versa) and then expects the author to be grateful for what he has done.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe-the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
Friedrich Nietzsche
