More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Away from God and gods did this will lure me: what would there be to create if gods existed?
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Jealous is every virtue of the others, and a dreadful thing is jealousy. Even virtues may succumb by jealousy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Certitude drives people mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
i have never pondered over questions that are not questions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is only when we have ceased to be the followers of our followers that we comprehend how meaningless followers are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Can an ass be tragic?--To perish under a burden that one can neither bear nor cast off? The case of the philosopher.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The end of a melody is not its goal but nonetheless, if the melody had not reached its end it would not have reached its goal either. A parable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If a man has character, he has also his typical experience, which always recurs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A woman does not want the truth what is truth to women? From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than the truth - her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance and beauty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anti-theses.- The most senile thing ever thought about man is contained in the celebrated saying 'the ego is always hateful' the most childish is the even more celebrated 'love thy neighbor as thyself'. - In the former, knowledge of human nature has ceased, in the latter it has not yet even begun.
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
This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do we have in common with the rosebud, which trembles because a drop of dew lies on its body?
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is inhuman to bless where one is cursed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Each word of Heraclitus expresses the pride and the majesty of truth, but of truth grasped in intuitions rather than attained by the rope ladder of logic.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
