We should turn our death into a celebration, even if only out of a malice towards life: towards the woman who wants to leave--us!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Many die too late, and some die too early. Yet strangers soundeth the precept: Die at the right time!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Many a one cannot loosen his own fetters, but is nevertheless his friend's emancipator.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The radical hostility, the deadly hostility against sensuality, is always a symptom to reflect on: it entitles us to suppositions concerning the total state of one who is excessive in this manner.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The will to power can express itself only against resistances it seeks that which resists it--this is the native tendency of theamoeba when it extends its pseudopodia and gropes around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more must you allure the senses to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Principle of Christian love: it insists upon being well paid in the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This is one of the stout-hearted old warriors: he is angry with civilization because he supposes that its aim is to make all goodthings--honors, treasures, beautiful women--accessible even to cowards.
