Image
To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The charm of knowledge would be small indeed, were it not that there is so much shame to be overcome on the way to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Liberal institutions straightway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: Once this is attained, no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The man who does not wish to belong to the mass needs only to cease taking himself easily let him follow his conscience, which calls to him: Be your self! All you are now doing, thinking, desiring, is not you yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is no pre-established harmony between the furtherance of truth and the well-being of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are more pained when one of our friends is guilty of something shameful than when we do it ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence he observes closely, and he enjoys his observation: for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The misunderstanding of passion and reason, as if the latter were an independent entity and not rather a system of relations between various passions and desires and as if every passion did not possess its quantum of reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Life is fountain of joy but where the rabble also gather to drink, all wells are poisoned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is not to everyone's taste that truth should be pronounced pleasant. But at least let no one believe that error becomes truth when it is pronounced unpleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Creation is the great redemption from suffering and all life's growing light. But the creator must be suffering if needed and accept much change.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man... cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To go on vegetating in cowardly dependence on physicians and machinations, after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost, that ought to prompt a profound contempt in society.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Christianity has the rancor of the sick at its very core-the instinct against the healthy, against health. Everything that is well-constructed, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offense to its ears and eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
