More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
One pays dearly for being immortal: one must die many times during his life.
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
The condition that gives birth to a rule is not the same as the condition to which the rule gives birth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Then is what you see through this window onto the world so lovely that you have no desire whatsoever to look out through any other window, and that you even make an attempt to prevent others from doing so?
Friedrich Nietzsche
He has drawn back, only in order to have enough room for his leap
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a self-deception of philosophers and moralists to imagine that they escape decadence by opposing it. That is beyond their will and, however little they acknowledge it, one later discovers that they were among the most powerful promoters of decadence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One had better put on gloves before handling the New Testament. The presence of so much filth makes it highly advisable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What was a lie in the father becomes a conviction in the son.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever deliberately attempts to insure confidentiality with another person is usually in doubt as to whether he inspires that person's confidence in him. One who is sure that he inspires confidence attaches little importance to confidentiality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are highly gifted spirits who are always infertile simply because, owing to a weakness in temperament, they are too impatient to wait out their pregnancy to term.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is it that endowed things with meaning, value, significance? The creating heart, which desired, and, out of its desire, created. It created joy and woe. It wanted to satiate itself with woe. We must take all the suffering that has been endured by men and animals upon ourselves and affirm it, and possess a goal in which it acquires reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We criticize a thinker more acutely when he advances a proposition that is disagreeable to us and yet it would be more reasonableto do so when his proposition is agreeable to us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who is not a bird should not build his nest over abysses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every man has his price. This is not true. But for every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing.
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
To be natural means to dare to be as immoral as Nature is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
