Image
When asses are needed.- You will never get the crowd to cry Hosanna until you ride into town on an ass.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Willing emancipateth: that is the true doctrine of will and emancipation - so teacheth you Zarathustra. No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me! And also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating and evolving delight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The wreckage of stars - I built a world from this wreckage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The bite of conscience, like the bite of a dog into a stone, is a stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In a certain state it is indecent to live longer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
My formula for happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You say a good cause justifies any war but I say a good war justifies any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We talk so abstractly about poetry because all of us are usually bad poets.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
How can a man know himself? He is a thing dark and veiled and if the hare has seven skins, man can slough off seventy times seven and still not be able to say: this is really you, this is no longer outer shell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
And many such good inventions are there, that they are like woman's breasts: useful at the same time, and pleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith as an imperative is a veto against science-in praxi, it means lies at any price.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those who create are hard of heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Error has made man so deep, sensitive, and inventive that he has put forth such blossoms as religions and arts. Pure knowledge could not have been capable of it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When an idea is just rising on the horizon, the soul's temperature with respect to it is usually very cold. Only gradually does the idea develop its warmth, and it is hottest (which is to say, exerting its greatest influence) when belief in the idea is already once again in decline.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We would not let ourselves be burned to death for our opinions: we are not sure enough of them for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who has attained intellectual emancipation to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth and not even as a traveller towards a final goal, for there is no such thing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
