More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The truthful man ends up realizing that he always lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is perhaps just dawning on five or six minds that physics, too, is only an interpretation and exegesis of the world (to suit us, if I may say so!) and not a world-explanation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which intoxicates, the sensually ecstatic, the sudden surprise, the urge to be profoundly stirred at any price -- dreadful tendencies!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Good manners disappear in proportion as the influence of a Court and an exclusive aristocracy lessens this decrease can be plainly observed from decade to decade by those who have an eye for public behavior, which grows visibly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mediocrity is the most effective mask a superior spirit can wear, because to the great majority, which is to say, to the mediocre,it will not suggest a disguise:--and yet it is precisely for their sake that he puts it on--so as not to arouse them, and, indeed, not infrequently to avoid this out of pity and benevolence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Each word of Heraclitus expresses the pride and the majesty of truth, but of truth grasped in intuitions rather than attained by the rope ladder of logic.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People to whom their daily life appears too empty and monotonous easily grow religious this is comprehensible and excusable, only they have no right to demand religious sentiments from those whose daily life is not empty and monotonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men are even lazier than they are timorous, and what they fear most is the troubles with which any unconditional honesty and nudity would burden them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There was at all events one advantage in the choice of this day to my birth my birthday throughout the whole of my childhood was a day of public rejoicing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
On the heights it is warmer than those in the valley imagine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?
Friedrich Nietzsche
By losing your goal, You have lost your way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith as an imperative is a veto against science-in praxi, it means lies at any price.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.--Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
