Quote

How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
The radical hostility, the deadly hostility against sensuality, is always a symptom to reflect on: it entitles us to suppositions concerning the total state of one who is excessive in this manner.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You implanted your highest goal into the heart of those passions: then they became your virtues and joys.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The scaffolding must be removed once the house is built.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
truths are illusions of which one has forgotten that they are illusions, metaphors that have become worn-out and deprived of their sensuous force, coins that have lost their imprint and are now no longer seen as coins but as metal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everyone thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In the knowledge of truth, what really matters is the possession of it, not the impulse under which it was sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must separate from anything that forces one to repeat No again and again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The Greeks, with their truly healthy culture, have once and for all justified philosophy simply by having engaged in it, and having engaged in it more fully than any other people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If a man has character, he has also his typical experience, which always recurs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A man should not play the coward to his deeds. He should not repudiate them once he has performed them. Pangs of conscience are indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In Bach there is still too much crude Christianity, crude Germanism, crude scholasticism he stands on the threshold of European (modern) music, but he looks back from there to the Middle Ages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To be natural means to dare to be as immoral as Nature is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every one being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is terrible to die of thirst in the ocean. Do you have to salt your truth so heavily that it does not even-quench thirst any more?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
O my brothers, am I then cruel? But I say: that which is falling should also be pushed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Our drives are reducible to the will to power. The will to power is the ultimate fact at which we arrive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
