More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When horror is associated with what is harmful, evil results, when disgust does, badness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you believe in?--In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last analysis, even the best woman is bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap
Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of many men and books rests solely on their faculty for compelling all to seek out the most hidden and intimate things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is life? A continuous praise and blame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As a result, nature is something entirely different from what comes to mind when we invoke its name.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strongest knowledge (that of the total freedom of the human will) is nonetheless the poorest in successes: for it always has the strongest opponent, human vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are so fond of being out among nature, because it has no opinions about us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Emerson is a person who lives instinctively on ambrosia - and leaves everything indigestible on his plate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we have a great goal we are superior even to justice, not merely to our deeds and our judges.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch. Hence it is the greatest paradox in literature, the imperishable in the midst of change, the nourishment which always remains highly valued, as salt does, and never becomes stupid like salt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Narrow souls I cannot abide There's almost no good or evil inside
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Freedom of opinion is like health both are individual, and no good general conception can be set up of either of them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
