More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Men should learn to live with the same seriousness with which children play.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A married philosopher is a comic character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you want me to believe in your redeemer, you are going to have to look a lot more redeemed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
