More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The advocates of a criminal are seldom artists enough to turn the beautiful terribleness of the deed to the advantage of the doer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Immortal is the moment when I engendered the recurrence. For the sake of this moment I bear the recurrence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In almost all sciences the fundamental knowledge is either found in earliest times or is still being sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The patient. The pine tree seems to listen, the fir tree to wait: and both without impatience: - they give no thought to the little people beneath them devoured by their impatience and their curiosity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am alone again and I want to be so alone with the pure sky and open sea.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In art the end does not sanctify the means: but sacred means employed here can sanctify the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A light has dawned for me: I need companions, living ones, not dead companions and corpses which I carry with me wherever I wish. But I need living companions who follow me because they want to follow themselves- and who want to go where I want to go.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Body am I entirely, and nothing else and soul is only a word for something about the body.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Linguistic danger to spiritual freedom.- Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great intellects are skeptical.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud, it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day bear lightnings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
