More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics - that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My conception of freedom. — The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I enquire now as to the genesis of a philologist and assert the following: 1. A young man cannot possibly know what Greeks and Romans are. 2. He does not know whether he is suited for finding out about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An educator never says what he himself thinks, but only that which he thinks it is good for those whom he is educating to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Idleness is the beginning of all psychology. What? Could it be that psychology is ? a vice?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many people, especially women, never experience boredom because they have never learned to work properly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Iron necessity is a thing which in the course of history men come to see as neither iron nor necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
