More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever a theologian regards as true must be false: there you have almost a criterion of truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The danger of our culture.- We belong to a period of which the culture is in danger of being destroyed by the appliances of culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
as though the Truth were such an innocent and incompetent creature as to require protectors!
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
You must await your thirst and allow it to become complete: otherwise you will never discover your spring, which can never be anyone else's!
Friedrich Nietzsche
We grow hostile to many an artist or writer, not because we finally come to see he has deceived us, but because he thought no subtler means were required to ensnare us.
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
Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the crux of the moral pessimists: if they really wanted to promote their neighbor's redemption, then they would have to resolve themselves to spoiling existence for him, and thus to being his misfortune out of pity, they would have to--become evil!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who thinks a great deal is not suited to be a party man: he thinks his way through the party and out the other side too soon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best of yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Someone who does not write books, who thinks a lot, and who lives in unsatisfying society will usually be a good letter- writer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If one seeks relief from unbearable pressure, one is to eat hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many die too late, and some die too early. Yet strangers soundeth the precept: Die at the right time!
Friedrich Nietzsche
