We grow hostile to many an artist or writer, not because we finally come to see he has deceived us, but because he thought no subtler means were required to ensnare us.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The final reward of the dead - to die no more
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
But let me open up my heart to you completely, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear not being a god! Hence, there areno gods. I drew this conclusion, to be sure--but now it draws me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fair-mindedness, and gentleness with what is strange.
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
When there is a choice about it, a great sacrifice is preferable to a small sacrifice, because we compensate ourselves for a greatone with self-admiration, which is not possible with a small one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others.
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
Good manners disappear in proportion as the influence of a Court and an exclusive aristocracy lessens this decrease can be plainly observed from decade to decade by those who have an eye for public behavior, which grows visibly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lack of closeness among friends is a fault that cannot be reprimanded without becoming incurable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. Is not life a hundred times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
When we cannot stand certain people, we try to have suspicions about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I climb upon the highest mountains, laughing at all tragedies - whether real or imaginary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All prejudices may be traced back to the intestines. A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I overcame myself, the sufferer I carried my own ashes to the mountains I invented a brighter flame for myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only ideas won by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
His (the theologian) basic instinct of self preservation forbids him to respect reality at any point or even to let it get a word in.
Friedrich Nietzsche
