We are responsible to ourselves for our own existence consequently we want to be the true helmsman of this existence and refuse to allow our existence to resemble a mindless act of chance.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Improvements are invented only by those who can feel that something is not good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I go in solitude, so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think after a time it always seems as if they want to banish myself from myself and rob me of my soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All prejudices may be traced back to the intestines. A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge and we others will be his victims, if only in having always to endure his ugly sight. For the sight of the ugly makes one bad and gloomy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriages that made out of love (so-called love-matches) have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
O my brothers, am I then cruel? But I say: that which is falling should also be pushed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I fear that, with our current veneration for the natural and the real, we have arrived at the opposite pole to all idealism, and have landed in the region of the waxworks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We should conserve evil just as we should conserve the forests. It is true that by thinning and clearing the forests the earth grew warmer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Each word of Heraclitus expresses the pride and the majesty of truth, but of truth grasped in intuitions rather than attained by the rope ladder of logic.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If we have injured someone, giving him the opportunity to make a joke about us is often enough to provide him personal satisfaction, or even to win his good will.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The saying, The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored, is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.--A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little health now and again is the ailing person's best remedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The quality of a marriage is proven by its ability to tolerate an occasional exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no facts, only interpretations.
Friedrich Nietzsche
