More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not doubt,is certitude that drives you mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sapand seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it--and tries to live off philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let woman be a plaything, pure and fine, like a precious stone, illumined with the virtues of a world not yet come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not give alms I am not poor enough for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The English are a nation of consummate cant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Very early in my life I took the question of the relation of art to truth seriously: even now I stand in holy dread in the face of this discordance. My first book was devoted to it. The Birth of Tragedy believes in art on the background of another belief
Friedrich Nietzsche
I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never trust a thought that didn't come by walking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To be moral, correct, and virtuous is to be obedient to an old established law and custom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
As far as Germany extends it ruins culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
Friedrich Nietzsche
