More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The hour when you say, What does my happiness matter? It is poverty and filth, and a wretched complacency. Yet my happiness should justify existence itself!
Friedrich Nietzsche
No one dies of fatal truths nowadays: there are too many antidotes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A person must have a good memory to keep the promises he has made. A person must have a strong imagination to be able to have pity. So closely is morality tied to the quality of the intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The individual has always to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some people do not become thinkers simply because their memories are too good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mothers easily become jealous of their sons' friends when they are particularly successful. As a rule a mother loves herself in her son more than she does the son himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The beating of drums, which delights young writers who serve a party, sounds to him who does not belong to the party line like a rattling of chains, and excites sympathy rather than admiration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
On the heights it is warmer than people in the valley suppose, especially in winter. The thinker recognizes the full import of this simile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where does one not find that bland degeneration which beer produces in the spirit!
Friedrich Nietzsche
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time the light on the stars requires time deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We often refuse to accept an idea merely because the tone of voice in which it has been expressed is unsympathetic to us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our body is simply a social structure made of many souls.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Liberalism is the transformation of mankind into cattle.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One day soon you will meet a man, and he will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and it is my greatest hope that he will not give you syphilis.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For what purpose humanity is there should not even concern us: why you are here, that you should ask yourself: and if you have no ready answer, then set for yourself goals, high and noble goals, and perish in pursuit of them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concepts beyond and real world were invented in order to depreciate the only world that exists-in order that no goal, no aim or task might be left for our earthly reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The better the state is established, the fainter is humanity. To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task.
Friedrich Nietzsche
