Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Where I found the living, there I found the will to power even in the will of servants I found the will to be master.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What? You seek something? You wish to multiply yourself tenfold, a hundredfold? You seek followers? Seek zeros!
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
Man makes god in his own image.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The form of a work of art, which gives speech to their thoughts and is, therefore, their mode of talking, is always somewhat uncertain, like all kinds of speech.
Friedrich Nietzsche
