Quote

God, the immortality of the soul, salvation, the beyond-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
The followers of a great man often put their eyes out, so that they may be the better able to sing his praise.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The wisest man would be the one richest in contradictions, who has, as it were, antennae for all types of men---as well as his great moments of grand harmony---a rare accident even in us! A sort of planetary motion---
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every man in creating the beautiful appearance of the dream worlds is a perfect artist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Enjoying praise is in some people merely a civility of the heart--and just the opposite of a vanity of the spirit.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies, bullfights, and crucifixions he has so far felt best on earth and when he invented hell for himself, behold, that was his very heaven.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If married couples did not live together, happy marriages would be more frequent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If you have an enemy, do not requite him evil with good, for that would put him to shame. Rather prove that he did you some good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Verily, I do not want to be like the ropemakers: They drag out their threads and always walk backwards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those moralists, on the other hand, who, following in the footsteps of Socrates, offer the individual a morality of self-control and temperance as a means to his own advantage, as his personal key to happiness, are the exceptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A declaration of war on the masses by higher men is needed! ... Everything that makes soft and effeminate, that serves the end of the people or the feminine, works in favor of universal suffrage, i.e. the domination of the inferior men. But we should take reprisal and bring this whole affair to light and the bar of judgment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When horror is associated with what is harmful, evil results, when disgust does, badness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I hate who steals my solitude, without really offer me in exchange company.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Dead are all gods: now we want the overman to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man would sooner have the Void for his purpose than be void of Purpose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When Zarathustra was alone . . . he said to his heart: Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: frenzy.
