Quote

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.

Image
The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
By losing your goal, You have lost your way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is the strongest cure?--Victory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Buddhism is a hundred times as realistic as Christianity it is part of its living heritage that it is able to face problems objectively and coolly it is the product of long centuries of philosophical speculation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is possible that the production of genius is reserved to a limited period of mankind's history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If a man wishes to rid himself of a feeling of unbearable oppression, he may have to take hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Physiologists should think before putting down the instinct of self-preservation as the cardinal instinct of an organic being. A living thing seeks above all to discharge its strength--life itself is will to power self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent results.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I go in solitude, so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think after a time it always seems as if they want to banish myself from myself and rob me of my soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong.
