More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I and me are always too deeply in conversation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We possess art lest we perish of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is I, the ungodly Zarathustra, who says:Who is more ungodly than I, that I may rejoice in his teaching?
Friedrich Nietzsche
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is it that endowed things with meaning, value, significance? The creating heart, which desired, and, out of its desire, created. It created joy and woe. It wanted to satiate itself with woe. We must take all the suffering that has been endured by men and animals upon ourselves and affirm it, and possess a goal in which it acquires reason.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not a man, I am dynamite!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Among austere men intimacy involves shame--and is something precious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The genius-in work and in deed-is necessarily a squanderer: the fact that he spends himself constitutes his greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is happening to me happens to all fruits that grow ripe. It is the honey in my veins that makes my blood thicker, and my soul quieter.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I live in my own place - have never copied anyone even half, and at any master who lacks the grace - to laugh at himself - I laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whereas the man of action binds his life to reason and its concepts so that he will not be swept away and lost, the scientific investigator builds his hut right next to the tower of science so that he will be able to work on it and to find shelter for himself beneath those bulwarks which presently exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In being wildly natural we recover best from being unnatural, from being spiritual.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When gods die, they always die many sorts of death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All things that are truly great are at first thought impossible.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The world itself is the will to power - and nothing else! And you yourself are the will to power - and nothing else!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most general deficiency in our sort of culture and education is gradually dawning on me: no one learns, no one strives towards, no one teaches--enduring loneliness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Has a woman who knew she was well-dressed ever caught a cold?
Friedrich Nietzsche
