Quote

The most general deficiency in our sort of culture and education is gradually dawning on me: no one learns, no one strives towards, no one teaches--enduring loneliness.

Image
I and me are always too deeply in conversation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A living being seeks, above all, to discharge its strength. Life is will to power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Only ideas won by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Instinct. When the house burns one forgets even lunch. Yes, but one eats it later in the ashes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Where neither love nor hatred is in the game, a woman's game is mediocre.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The greatest giver of alms is cowardice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Go through the towns and ask yourselves whether these people should reproduce! Let them go to their whores!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Marriages that made out of love (so-called love-matches) have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe-the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is the cruelest animal. At tragedies, bullfights, and crucifixions he has so far felt best on earth and when he invented hell for himself, behold, that was his very heaven.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to happiness as goal).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Iron necessity is a thing which in the course of history men come to see as neither iron nor necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who is of a free spirit and a free heart: thus is his head only the bowels of his heart his heart, however, causeth his down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
