Assuming that rapture is nature's play with man, the Dionysian artist's creative activity is the play with rapture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
With the strength of his spiritual sight and insight the distance, and as it were the space, around man continually expands: his world grows deeper, ever new stars, ever new images and enigmas come into view.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I would only believe in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity—through him all things fall. Not by wrath does one kill but by laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes we remain true to a cause simply because its opponents are unfailingly tasteless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Phlegmatic natures can be inspired to enthusiasm only by being made into fanatics.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To become the founder of a new religion one must be psychologically infallible in one's knowledge of a certain average type of souls who have not yet recognized that they belong together.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever has character also has his typical experience, which returns over and over again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their food so that their mouths learn how to eat fire!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who liveth in order to know, and seeketh to know in order that the Superman may hereafter live. Thus seeketh he his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Little prigs and three-quarter madmen may have the conceit that the laws of nature are constantly broken for their sakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Astrology presupposes that the heavenly bodies are regulated in their movements in harmony with the destiny of mortals: the moral man presupposes that that which concerns himself most nearly must also be the heart and soul of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
