I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I listened for the echo, and I heard only praise —
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith actually moves no mountains, but instead raises them up where there were none before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You may have enemies whom you hate, but not enemies whom you despise. You must be proud of your enemy: then the success of your enemy shall be your success too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. God is such an obvious and crass solution a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom He is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Everyone becomes brave when he observes one who despairs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We have no organ at all for knowledge, for truth: we know (or believe or imagine) precisely as much as may be useful in the interest of the human herd, the species: and even what is here called usefulness is in the end only a belief, something imagined and perhaps precisely that most fatal piece of stupidity by which we shall one day perish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The beast in us must be[78] wheedled: ethic is necessary, that we may not be torn to pieces.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is inhuman to bless where one is cursed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Verily, I do not like them, the merciful who feel blessed in their pity: they are lacking too much in shame. If I must pity, at least I do not want it known and if I do pity, it is preferably from a distance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Most people are too stupid to act in their own interest
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every church is a stone on the grave of a god-man: it does not want him to rise up again under any circumstances.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Learn to see - accustoming the eye to calm, to patience, to letting-things-come-to-it learning to defer judgment, to encircle and encompass the question on all sides.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those moralists, on the other hand, who, following in the footsteps of Socrates, offer the individual a morality of self-control and temperance as a means to his own advantage, as his personal key to happiness, are the exceptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To become wise you have to want to experience certain experiences, and so to run into their open jaws. This is very dangerous, tobe sure many a wise man has been eaten up in doing so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to happiness as goal).
Friedrich Nietzsche
