Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.
Friedrich Nietzsche

A beautiful woman seductively dressed will never catch cold no matter how low-cut her gown.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do we have in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew lies on its body?
Friedrich Nietzsche
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time the light on the stars requires time deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Worldly Wisdom Do not stay in the field! Nor climb out of sight. The best view of the world Is from a medium height.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The drive toward knowledge has a moral origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity. For the crowd believes that if it cannot see to the bottom of something it must be profound. It is so timid and dislikes going into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The advocates of a criminal are seldom artists enough to turn the beautiful terribleness of the deed to the advantage of the doer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A thing can only live through a pious illusion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whom do you call bad?--Those who always want to induce shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche
One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For a significant man woman, the one thought he values greatly, to the laughter and scorn of insignificant men, is a key to hidden treasure chambers for those others, it is nothing but a piece of old iron.
Friedrich Nietzsche
