More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I too have been in the underworld, as was Odysseus, and I will often be there again not only sheep have I sacrificed so as to beable to speak with a few dead souls, but neither have I spared my own blood as well.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As refined fare serves a hungry man as well as and no better than coarser food, the more pretentious artist will not dream of inviting the hungry man to his meal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes in conversation the sound of our own voice distracts us and misleads us into making assertions that in no way express our true opinions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is the will to power our natural desire to dominate and reshape the world to fit our own preferences and assert our personal strength to the fullest degree.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You gave him an opportunity of showing greatness of character and he did not seize it. He will never forgive you for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One day soon you will meet a man, and he will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and it is my greatest hope that he will not give you syphilis.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Away from God and gods did this will lure me: what would there be to create if gods existed?
Friedrich Nietzsche
If there were gods, how could I endure not to be a god? Therefore there are no gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
History teaches that a race of people is best preserved where the greater number hold one common spirit in consequence of the similarity of their accustomed and indisputable principles.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The one conclusive argument that has at all times discouraged people from drinking a poison is not that it kills but rather that it tastes bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No man ever wrote more eloquently and luminously [than Heraclitus].
Friedrich Nietzsche
So far there has been no philosopher in whose hands philosophy has not grown into an apology for knowledge on this point, at least, every one is an optimist, that the greatest usefulness must be ascribed to knowledge. They are all tyrannized over by logic, and this is optimism in its essence.
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
