More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The woman and the genius do not work. Up to now, woman has been mankind's supreme luxury. In all those moments when we do our best, we do not work. Work is merely a means to these moments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever the State saith is a lie whatever it hath is a theft: all is counterfeit in it, the gnawing, sanguinary, insatiate monster.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Higher than thou shalt stands I will (the heroes), and higher than I will stands I am (the Greek gods).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything that is profound loves the mask: the profoundest things have a hatred even of figure and likeness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The enormous expectation having to do with sexual love and the shame involved in this expectation degrades all a woman's perspectives from the start.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How can anyone become a thinker unless he spends at least a third of every day away from passions, people, and books?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to belong to the mass needs only to cease taking himself easily let him follow his conscience, which calls to him: Be your self! All you are now doing, thinking, desiring, is not you yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In praise there is more obtrusiveness than in blame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To go on vegetating in cowardly dependence on physicians and machinations, after the meaning of life, the right to life, has been lost, that ought to prompt a profound contempt in society.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Then is what you see through this window onto the world so lovely that you have no desire whatsoever to look out through any other window, and that you even make an attempt to prevent others from doing so?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The preponderance of pain over pleasure is the cause of our fictitious morality and religion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books for general reading always smell bad the odor of common people hangs around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you stare into the Abyss long enough the Abyss stares back at you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I teach you beyond Man (superman). Man is something that shall be surpassed. What have you done to surpass him?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I teach you the Overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? ... The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest progress that the human race has made lies in learning how to make correct inferences.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the business of the very few to be independent it is a privilege of the strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only where there are graves are there resurrections.
Friedrich Nietzsche
