More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Behold! I am weary of my wisdom, like the bee that has gathered too much honey I need hands outstretched to take it from me. I wish to spread it and bestow it, until the wise have once more become joyous in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Who is better, they who promote truth over happiness, or happiness over truth?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every characteristic absence of spirituality, every piece of common vulgarity, is due to an inability to resist a stimulus - you have to react, you follow every impulse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
They would have to sing better songs for me to learn to have faith in their Redeemer and his disciples would have to look more redeemed!
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the crux of the moral pessimists: if they really wanted to promote their neighbor's redemption, then they would have to resolve themselves to spoiling existence for him, and thus to being his misfortune out of pity, they would have to--become evil!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christians call it faith ... I call it the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man must become better and more evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call a lie: wanting not to see something one does see, wanting not to see something as one sees it... The most common lie is the lie one tells to oneself lying to others is relatively the exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The quality of a marriage is proven by its ability to tolerate an occasional exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where is the lightning to lick you with its tongue? Where is the madness with which you should be cleansed? Behold, I show you the Superman. He is this lightning, he is this madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We should turn our death into a celebration, even if only out of a malice towards life: towards the woman who wants to leave--us!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The usual false conclusions of mankind are these: a thing exists, therefore it has a right to exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Happiness is the feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What makes one heroic? - Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But like infection is the petty thought: it creeps and hides, and wants to be nowhere--until the whole body is decayed and withered by the petty infection... Thus spoke Zarathustra.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When Zarathustra was alone . . . he said to his heart: Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
Friedrich Nietzsche
