More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We talk so abstractly about poetry because all of us are usually bad poets.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man should not play the coward to his deeds. He should not repudiate them once he has performed them. Pangs of conscience are indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
One lives for the day, one lives very fast, one lives very irresponsibly: precisely this is called freedom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Who is better, they who promote truth over happiness, or happiness over truth?
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever regards human beings as a herd and flees them as swiftly as he can will no doubt be overtaken by them and impaled on theirhorns.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books that teach us to dance: There are writers who, by portraying the impossible as possible, and by speaking of morality and genius as if both were high-spirited freedom, as if man were rising up on tiptoe and simply had to dance out of inner pleasure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One's own self is well hidden from one's own self of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe-the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From whatever you wish to know and measure you must take your leave, at least for a time. Only when you have left the town can yousee how high its towers rise above the houses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That is an artist as I would have an artist be, modest in his needs: he really wants only two things, his bread and his art--panemet Circen.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ultimately one loves one's desires and not that which is desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For all things are baptized at the font of eternity, and beyond good and evil good and evil themselves, however, are but intervening shadows and damp afflictions and passing clouds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Poets and writers who are in love with the superlative all want to do more than they can.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
