Why couldn't the world that concerns us- be a fiction? And if somebody asked, 'but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?'- couldn't one answer simply: 'Why? Doesn't this belongs perhaps belong to the fiction, too?'
Friedrich Nietzsche

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We attack not only to hurt someone, to defeat him, but perhaps also simply to become conscious of our own strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
With the strength of his spiritual sight and insight the distance, and as it were the space, around man continually expands: his world grows deeper, ever new stars, ever new images and enigmas come into view.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything which distinguishes man from the animals depends upon this ability to volatilize perceptual metaphors in a schema, and thus to dissolve an image into a concept.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Linguistic danger to spiritual freedom.- Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To find everything profound - that is an inconvenient trait. It makes one strain one's eyes all the time, and in the end one finds more than one might have wished.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to be one of the mass only needs to cease to be easy on himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Master-morality and Slave-morality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
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
Whoever has overthrown an existing law of custom has always first been accounted a bad man: but when, as did happen, the law could not afterwards be reinstated and this fact was accepted, the predicate gradually changed - history treats almost exclusively of these bad men who subsequently became good men!
Friedrich Nietzsche
So far no one had had enough courage and intelligence to reveal me to my dear Germans. My problems are new, my psychological horizon frighteningly comprehensive, my language bold and clear there may well be no books written in German which are richer in ideas and more independent than mine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
The masters have been done away with the morality of the common man has triumphed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I teach you beyond Man (superman). Man is something that shall be surpassed. What have you done to surpass him?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Under conditions of peace the warlike man attacks himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
