More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
With sturdy shoulders, space stands opposing all its weight to nothingness. Where space is, there is being.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the greatest thing ye can experience? It is the hour of great contempt. The hour in which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so also your reason and virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
A beautiful woman seductively dressed will never catch cold no matter how low-cut her gown.
Friedrich Nietzsche
With the strength of his spiritual sight and insight the distance, and as it were the space, around man continually expands: his world grows deeper, ever new stars, ever new images and enigmas come into view.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The will to power can express itself only against resistances it seeks that which resists it--this is the native tendency of theamoeba when it extends its pseudopodia and gropes around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But what if pleasure and pain should be so closely connected that he who wants the greatest possible amount of the one must also have the greatest possible amount of the other, that he who wants to experience the heavenly high jubilation, must also be ready to be sorrowful unto death?
Friedrich Nietzsche
In compassionate men, severity is a virtue.
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
Not to him who is offensive to us are we most unfair, but to him who doth not concern us at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A letter is an unannounced visit, the postman the agent of rude surprises. One ought to reserve an hour a week for receiving letters and afterwards take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The doer is merely a fiction added to the deed ? the deed is everything.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who liveth in order to know, and seeketh to know in order that the Superman may hereafter live. Thus seeketh he his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is perhaps nothing so admirable in Christianity and Buddhism as their art of teaching even the lowest to elevate themselves by piety to a seemingly higher order of things, and thereby to retain their satisfaction with the actual world in which they find it difficult enough to live - this very difficulty being necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
