We seldom break our leg so long as life continues a toilsome upward climb. The danger comes when we begin to take things easily and choose the convenient paths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The final reward of the dead - to die no more
Friedrich Nietzsche

A man unconsciously imagines that where he is strong, where he feels most thoroughly alive, the element of his freedom must lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The truth is ugly: we have art so as not to perish from the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I teach you the Overman. Man is something which shall be surpassed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those with certain temperaments find no way to endure themselves except by striving towards going under.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Against the censurers of brevity. - Something said briefly can be the fruit of much long thought: but the reader who is a novice in this field, and has as yet reflected on it not at all, sees in everything said briefly something embryonic, not without censuring the author for having served him up such immature and unripened fare.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mankind must work continually to produce individual great human beings - this and nothing else is the task... for the question is this : How can your life, the individual life, retain the highest value, the deepest significance? Only by living for the good of the rarest and most valuable specimens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
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
Moralities and religions are the principal means by which one can make whatever one wishes out of man, provided one possesses a superfluity of creative forces and can assert one's will over long periods of time in the form of legislation and customs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To be ashamed of one's immorality: that is a step on the staircase at whose end one is also ashamed of one's morality.

If a temple is to be erected, a temple must be destroyed .
