More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
He who rejoices even at the stake triumphs not over pain but over the absence of pain where he had anticipated feeling it. A parable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Christianity has the rancor of the sick at its very core-the instinct against the healthy, against health. Everything that is well-constructed, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offense to its ears and eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space - how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Look not into the sun! Even the moon is too bright for your nocturnal eyes!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
But this people has deliberately made itself stupid, for nearly a millennium: nowhere have the two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity, been abused more dissolutely.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everyone becomes brave when he observes one who despairs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Pity aims just as little at the pleasure of others as malice at the pain of others Per-Se.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Mathematics is merely the means to a general and ultimate knowledge of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption, but how near or distant that is, nobody knows- not even God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One sticks to an opinion because he prides himself on having come to it on his own, and another because he has taken great pains to learn it and is proud to have grasped it: and so both do so out of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The poison by which the weaker nature is destroyed is strengthening to the strong individual and he does not call it poison.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I am not a man, I am dynamite!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever has really sacrificed anything, knows that he wanted and got something in return.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is not enough religion in the world even to destroy religion.
