More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Doing ill to those on whom we have to make our power felt for pain is a far more sensitive means for that purpose than pleasure: pain always asks concerning the cause, while pleasure is inclined to keep within itself and not look backward.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus do I want man and woman to be: the one fit to wage war and the other fit to give birth, but both fit to dance with head and feet.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So long as men praise you, you can only be sure that you are not yet on your own true path but on someone else's.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything is the same, nothing is worthwhile, the world is senseless, knowledge strangles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For this remains as I have already pointed out the essential difference between the two religions of decadence : Buddhism promises nothing, but actually fulfils Christianity promises everything, but fulfils nothing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Against boredom even gods struggle in vain.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If ye would go up high, then use your own legs! Do not get yourselves carried aloft do not seat yourselves on other people's backs and heads!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I desire that your conjectures should not reach beyond your creative will. Could you create a god? Then do not speak to me of any gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a peacock hides his peacock tail from all eyes--and calls it his pride.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We should turn our death into a celebration, even if only out of a malice towards life: towards the woman who wants to leave--us!
Friedrich Nietzsche
You I advise not to work, but to fight. You I advise not to peace, but to victory. Let your work be a fight, let your peace be a victory!
Friedrich Nietzsche
When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have hitherto believed that life was one of the highest value and now see yourselves disappointed, do you at once have to reduce it to the lowest possible price?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where is the lightning to lick you with its tongue? Where is the madness with which you should be cleansed? Behold, I show you the Superman. He is this lightning, he is this madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The job of rearing a child consists of making conscious activities unconscious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Philosophical systems are wholly true for their founders only.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mankind must work continually to produce individual great human beings - this and nothing else is the task... for the question is this : How can your life, the individual life, retain the highest value, the deepest significance? Only by living for the good of the rarest and most valuable specimens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All rejection and negation indicates a deficiency in fertility: fundamentally, if only we were good plowland we would allow nothing to go unused, and in every thing, event, and person we would welcome manure, rain, or sunshine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
