More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
At one time or another, almost every politician needs an honest man so badly that, like a ravenous wolf, he breaks into a sheep-fold: not to devour the ram he has stolen, however, but rather to conceal himself behind its wooly back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Weariness is the shortest path to equality and fraternity-and finally liberty is bestowed by sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Aphorisms should be peaks - and those who are addressed, tall and lofty. The air thin and pure, danger near, and the spirit full of gay sarcasm: these go well together.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Madness is not a consequence of uncertainty but of certainty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Away from God and gods did this will lure me: what would there be to create if gods existed?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The people we keep standing in the anteroom of our favor either start fermenting or turn sour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer, than into the dreams of a lustful woman?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every great love brings with it the cruel idea of killing the object of its love so that it may be removed once and for all from the wicked game of change: for love dreads change even more than annihilation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Only in war are you holy, and when you are robbers and cruel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.--Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Love brings to light the lofty and hidden characteristics of the lover--what is rare and exceptional in him: to that extent it caneasily be deceptive with respect to what is normal in him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Dreadful experiences raise the question whether he who experiences them, is not something dreadful also.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is always a certain noise in applause: even in the applause we give ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In praise there is more obtrusiveness than in blame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The thought is merely a sign, as the word is merely a sign for the thought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Was that life? Well then, once more!
