Probability but no truth, facility but no freedom--it is owing to these two fruits that the tree of knowledge cannot be confused with the tree of life.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
One lives for the day, one lives very fast, one lives very irresponsibly: precisely this is called freedom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A strong and well-constituted man digests his experiences (deeds and misdeeds all included) just as he digests his meats, even when he has some tough morsels to swallow.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must renounce the bad taste of wishing to agree with many people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not in our hands to prevent our birth but we can correct this mistake - for in some cases it is a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You implanted your highest goal into the heart of those passions: then they became your virtues and joys.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Acknowledge your will and speak to us all, This alone is what I will to be! Hang your own penal code up above you: we want to be its enforcers!
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are so fond of being out among nature, because it has no opinions about us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No shepherd and one herd! Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a one cannot loosen his own fetters, but is nevertheless his friend's emancipator.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in form, but disbelief in content - that's what makes an aphorism charming.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do you want to have an easy life? Then always stay with the herd and lose yourself in the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever has overthrown an existing law of custom has always first been accounted a bad man: but when, as did happen, the law could not afterwards be reinstated and this fact was accepted, the predicate gradually changed - history treats almost exclusively of these bad men who subsequently became good men!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
