More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And once you are awake, you shall remain awake eternally.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage was contrived for ordinary people, for people who are capable of neither great love nor great friendship, which is to say, for most people--but also for those exceptionally rare ones who are capable of love as well as of friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.
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
We fear our neighbor's hostile mood because we are afraid that this mood will lead him to penetrate our secrets.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pardon me, my friends, I have ventured to paint my happiness on the wall.
Friedrich Nietzsche
History teaches that a race of people is best preserved where the greater number hold one common spirit in consequence of the similarity of their accustomed and indisputable principles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When our brain feels too weak to deal with our opponent's objections, our heart answers by casting suspicion on their underlying motives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Certitude drives people mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One cannot read the New Testament without acquired admiration for whatever it abuses not to speak of the wisdom of this world, which an impudent wind bag tries to dispose of by the foolishness of preaching.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The so-called paradoxes of an author, to which a reader takes exception, often exist not in the author's book at all, but rather in the reader's head.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith actually moves no mountains, but instead raises them up where there were none before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
