More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must renounce the bad taste of wishing to agree with many people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is an end with priests and gods, if man becomes scientific. Moral: science is the thing forbidden in itself - it alone is forbidden. Science is the first sin, the germ of all sin, original sin. This alones is mortality: Thou shalt not know.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After all, what would be beautiful if the contradiction had not first become conscious of itself, if the ugly had not first said to itself: I am ugly?.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That lies should be necessary to life is part and parcel of the terrible and questionable character of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All idealism is falsehood in the face of necessity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you believe in?--In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And many such good inventions are there, that they are like woman's breasts: useful at the same time, and pleasant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What? You seek something? You wish to multiply yourself tenfold, a hundredfold? You seek followers? Seek zeros!
Friedrich Nietzsche
One never dives into the water to save a drowning man more eagerly than when there are others present who dare not take the risk.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The definition of morality: Morality is the idiosyncrasy of decadents having the hidden desire to revenge themselves upon life - and being successful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What I understand by philosopher: a terrible explosive in the presence of which everything is in danger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If that glad message of your Bible were written in your faces, you would not need to demand belief in the authority of that book in such stiff-necked fashion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In every age the wisest have passed the identical judgment on life: it is worthless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Such a man as instinctively feeds on pure ambrosia and leaves alone the indigestible in things.
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
