More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
It's not the intensity of the man, but the duration of his intensity that makes the man great.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man must become better and more evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is evil?-Whatever springs from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
A martyr's disciples suffer more than the martyr.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments.

Friedrich Nietzsche
We only hear questions that we are able to answer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The beast in us must be[78] wheedled: ethic is necessary, that we may not be torn to pieces.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only where there are graves are there resurrections.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One's own self is well hidden from one's own self of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to happiness as goal).
Friedrich Nietzsche
But by my love and hope I beseech you: do not throw away the hero in your soul! Hold holy your highest hope!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Compassion for the friend should conceal itself under a hard shell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Objectivity and justice have nothing to do with one another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is regrettable that a Dostoyevsky did not live near this most interesting of all decadents (Jesus Christ) - I mean someone who would have known how to sense the very stirring charm of such a mixture of the sublime, the sickly, and the childlike.
Friedrich Nietzsche
