Quote

If God had wanted to become an object of love, he would first of all have had to forgo judging and justice : a judge, and even a gracious judge, is no object of love.

No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is an end with priests and gods, if man becomes scientific. Moral: science is the thing forbidden in itself - it alone is forbidden. Science is the first sin, the germ of all sin, original sin. This alones is mortality: Thou shalt not know.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I know no other way to associate with great tasks than as play: as a sign of greatness, this is an essential presupposition.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The refinement of morality increases together with the refinement of fear. Today the fear of disagreeable feelings in other people is almost the strongest of our own disagreeable feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To become wise you have to want to experience certain experiences, and so to run into their open jaws. This is very dangerous, tobe sure many a wise man has been eaten up in doing so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful things: both do not want to be sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Our destiny rules over us, even when we are not yet aware of it it is the future that makes laws for our today.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The noble type of man feels himself to be the determiner of values, he does not need to be approved of, he judges 'what harms me is harmful in itself', he knows himself to be that which in general accords honour to things, he creates values.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics - that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The trodden worm curls up. This testifies to its caution. It thus reduces its chances of being trodden upon again. In the language of morality: Humility.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You want to make him interested in you? Then pretend to be embarrassed in his presence-
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
And so while dreams are the individual man's play with reality, the sculptor's art is (in a broader sense) the play with dreams.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I despise mystics, they fancy themselves so deep, when they aren't even superficial.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Books for general reading always smell bad the odor of common people hangs around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thinking evil is making evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What someone is, begins to be revealed when his talent abates, when he stops showing us what he can do.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Become who you are. Make what only you can make.
Friedrich Nietzsche
