More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A person unlearns arrogance when he knows he is always among worthy human beings being alone fosters presumption. Young people are arrogant because they always associate with their own peers, those who are all really nothing but who would like to be very important.
Friedrich Nietzsche
there they laugh: they do not understand me I am not the mouth for these ears.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is difficult to preach, this morality of mediocrity! It may never admit what it is and what it wants! It must speak about restraint and worth and duty and love of one's neighbor.
Friedrich Nietzsche
They would have to sing better songs for me to learn to have faith in their Redeemer and his disciples would have to look more redeemed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not to be cowardly when it comes to our own actions! Not to leave them in the lurch!--The sting of conscience is indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is a well of joy but for those out of whom an upset stomach speaks, which is the father of melancholy, all wells are poisoned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
By losing your goal, You have lost your way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything is the same, nothing is worthwhile, the world is senseless, knowledge strangles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If virtue goes to sleep, it will be more vigorous when it awakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is perhaps nothing so admirable in Christianity and Buddhism as their art of teaching even the lowest to elevate themselves by piety to a seemingly higher order of things, and thereby to retain their satisfaction with the actual world in which they find it difficult enough to live - this very difficulty being necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything that is profound loves the mask: the profoundest things have a hatred even of figure and likeness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The melancholia of everything completed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am afraid that old women are more skeptical in their most secret heart of hearts than any man: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profundity is to them merely a veil over this truth, a most welcome veil over a pudendum--and so a matter of decency and modesty, and nothing else.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not be deceived: great spirits are skeptics ... Strength, FREEDOM which is born of the strength and overstrength of the spirit, proves itself by skepticism. Men of conviction are not worthy of the least consideration in fundamental questions of value and disvalue. Convictions are prisons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings: what is closest appears large and weighty, and as one moves farther away size and weight decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To produce music is also in a sense to produce children.
Friedrich Nietzsche
