More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
There are more idols than realities in the world: that is my evil eye for this world, which is also my evil ear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The command 'become hard! ', the deep conviction that all creators are hard, is the really distinctive sign of a Dionysian nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The great poet draws his creations only from out of his own reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope, in its stronger forms, is a great deal more powerful stimulans to life than any sort of realized joy can ever be. Man must be sustained in suffering by a hope so high that no conflict with actuality can dash it - so high, indeed, that no fulfilment can satisfy it: a hope reaching out beyond this world.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I admire the courage and wisdom of Socrates in everything he did, said--and did not say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As soon as we are shown the existence of something old in a new thing, we are pacified.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is fountain of joy but where the rabble also gather to drink, all wells are poisoned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is proud to worship when he cannot be an idol.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enjoy life. This is not a dress rehearsal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
