Image
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Marriages that made out of love (so-called love-matches) have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The Germans are incapable of any conception of greatness: proof Schumann.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine, like a precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Ye shall only have foes to be hated but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The flame is not as bright to itself as it is to those it illuminates: so too the sage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are most unfair to God we do not allow Him to sin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is far pleasanter to injure and afterwards beg forgiveness than to be injured and grant forgiveness. He who does the former gives evidence of power and afterwards of kindness of character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever has provoked men to rage against him has always gained a party in his favor, too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful things: both do not want to be sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thou seekest disciples? Then thou seekest ciphers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is not the strengths, but the durations of great sentiments that make great men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Why is it that wellnesses are not as contagious as illnesses--generally speaking, but also especially regarding taste? Or are there epidemics of health?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Philosophical systems are wholly true for their founders only.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Higher than thou shalt stands I will (the heroes), and higher than I will stands I am (the Greek gods).
Friedrich Nietzsche
