More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What do you believe in?--In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The usual false conclusions of mankind are these: a thing exists, therefore it has a right to exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Some rule out of a lust for ruling others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The domestication (the culture) of man does not go deep--where it does go deep it at once becomes degeneration (type: the Christian). The 'savage' (or, in moral terms, the evil man) is a return to nature--and in a certain sense his recovery, his cure from 'culture'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is no better soporific and sedative than skepticism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A high civilization is a pyramid: it can stand only on a broad base its primary prerequisite is a strong and soundly consolidated mediocrity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Contentment preserves one from catching cold. Has a woman who knew that she was well dressed ever caught a cold? No, not even when she had scarcely a rag on her back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The pure soul is a pure lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We must repay goodness and wickedness: but why exactly to the person who has done us a good or a wicked turn?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That is the most extreme form of nihilism: nothingness (the meaningless) eternally!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Either one does not dream, or one does so interestingly. One should learn to spend one's waking life in the same way: not at all, or interestingly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
