More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The strength required for the vision of the most powerful reality is not only compatible with the most powerful strength for action, for monstrous action, for crime - it even presupposes it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For this remains as I have already pointed out the essential difference between the two religions of decadence : Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfils Christianity promises everything, but fulfils nothing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you are too weak to give yourselves your own law, then a tyrant shall lay his yoke upon you and say: Obey! Clench your teeth and obey! And all good and evil shall be drowned in obedience to him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The genius-in work and in deed-is necessarily a squanderer: the fact that he spends himself constitutes his greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For art to exist, for any sort of aesthetic activity to exist, a certain physiological precondition is indispensable: intoxication.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Out of love, women become entirely what it is that they are in the imaginations of the men who love them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For a significant man woman, the one thought he values greatly, to the laughter and scorn of insignificant men, is a key to hidden treasure chambers for those others, it is nothing but a piece of old iron.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?
Friedrich Nietzsche
As an artist one has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When horror is associated with what is harmful, evil results, when disgust does, badness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pity is the most agreeable feeling among those who have little pride and no prospects of great conquests.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That is the most extreme form of nihilism: nothingness (the meaningless) eternally!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whom do I hate most among the rabble of today? The socialist rabble, the chandala apostles, who undermine the instinct, the pleasure, the worker's sense of satisfaction with his small existence-who make him envious, who teach him revenge. The source of wrong is never unequal rights but the claim of equal rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.
Friedrich Nietzsche
With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art depends upon the inexactitude of sight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man must become better and more evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
