More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The soul must have its chosen sewers to carry away its ordure. This function is performed by persons, relationships, professions, the fatherland, the world, or finally, for the really arrogant - I mean our modern pessimists - by the Good God himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I go in solitude, so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think after a time it always seems as if they want to banish myself from myself and rob me of my soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not with wrath do we kill, but with laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we cannot stand certain people, we try to have suspicions about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One will rarely err if extreme actions be ascribed to vanity, ordinary actions to habit, and mean actions to fear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Priests ... these turkey-cocks of God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All good things were formerly bad things every original sin has turned into an original virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every man is a creative cause of what happens, a primum mobile with an original movement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Unresolved dissonances between the characters and dispositions of the parents continue to reverberate in the nature of the child and make up the history of its inner sufferings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Christian church is an encyclopedia of prehistoric cults.
Friedrich Nietzsche
