More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I live in my own place - have never copied anyone even half, and at any master who lacks the grace - to laugh at himself - I laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I overcame myself, the sufferer I carried my own ashes to the mountains I invented a brighter flame for myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Evaluation is creation: hear it, you creators! Evaluating is itself the most valuable treasure of all that we value. It is only through evaluation that value exists: and without evaluation the nut of existence would be hollow. Hear it, you creators!
Friedrich Nietzsche
We ought to learn from the kine one thing: ruminating.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not doubt,is certitude that drives you mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their food so that their mouths learn how to eat fire!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is: the mediocre are worth more than the exceptions ... I abhore Christianity with a deadly hatred.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Reason is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The English are a nation of consummate cant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Like the creatures of the forest and the sea, I love To lose myself for a while.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sins are indispensable to every society organized on an ecclesiastical basis they are the only reliable weapons of power the priest lives upon sins it is necessary to him that there be sinning.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Madness is not a consequence of uncertainty but of certainty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour, and who then asketh: Am I a dishonest player? - for he is willing to succumb.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In magnanimity there is the same amount of egoism as in revenge, but egoism of a different quality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
