More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who is not a bird should not build his nest over abysses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Indeed, what forces us at all to suppose that there is an essential opposition of 'true' and 'false'? Is it not sufficient to assume degrees of apparentness and, as it were, lighter and darker shadows and shades of appearance- different 'values', to use the language of painters?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All of life is a dispute over taste and tasting.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I see many soldiers could I but see many warriors! Uniform one calleth what they wear may it not be uniform what they therewith hide!
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus had] the highest form of pride [stemming] from a certainty of belief in the truth as grasped by himself alone. He brings this form, by its excessive development, into a sublime pathos by involuntary identification of himself with his truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The reasons and purposes for habits are always lies that are added only after some people begin to attack these habits and to ask for reasons and purposes. At this point the conservatives of all ages are thoroughly dishonest: they add lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are most unfair to God we do not allow Him to sin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriages that made out of love (so-called love-matches) have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Conversation with a friend will only bear good fruit of knowledge when both think only of the matter under consideration and forget that they are friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Most people are too stupid to act in their own interest
Friedrich Nietzsche
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ah, women. They make the highs higher and the lows more frequent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All preachers of morality, as also all theologians have a bad habit in common: all of them try to persuade man that he is very ill, and that a severe, final, radical cure is necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Silence is worse all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
