More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For both parties in a controversy, the most disagreeable way of retaliating is to be vexed and silent for the aggressor usually regards the silence as a sign of contempt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man must become better and more evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This tremendous event is still on its way, still wandering it has not yet reached the ears of men. Lightning and thunder require time the light on the stars requires time deeds though done, still require time to be seen and heard. This deed is still more distant from them than the most distant stars - and yet they have done it themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The view that honesty is something, and even a virtue, belongs, it is true, to those private opinions which are forbidden in this age of public opinions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We evaluate the services that anyone renders to us according to the value he puts on them, not according to the value they have for us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to be careful that in throwing out the devil, we don't throw out the best part of ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The advocates of a criminal are seldom artists enough to turn the beautiful terribleness of the deed to the advantage of the doer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All idealism is falsehood in the face of necessity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Creating-that is the great salvation from suffering, and life's alleviation. But for the creator to appear, suffering itself is needed, and much transformation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
i have never pondered over questions that are not questions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Linguistic danger to spiritual freedom.- Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Never trust a thought that didn't come by walking.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are two things a real man likes - danger and play and he likes woman because she is the most dangerous of play things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
