More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Let old ones go. Dont be a memory-monger! Once you were young──now you are even younger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Humility has the toughest hide.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A few hours of mountain climbing make a blackguard and a saint two rather similar creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The enormous expectation having to do with sexual love and the shame involved in this expectation degrades all a woman's perspectives from the start.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Unpleasant, even dangerous, qualities can be found in every nation and every individual: it is cruel to demand that the Jew be an exception. In him, these qualities may even be dangerous and revolting to an unusual degree and perhaps the young stock-exchange Jew is altogether the most disgusting invention of mankind.
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
If we have injured someone, giving him the opportunity to make a joke about us is often enough to provide him personal satisfaction, or even to win his good will.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When art dresses itself in the most worn-out material it is most easily recognized as art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every god-man created his own god: and there is no worse enmity on earth than that between gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the stream.- Mighty waters draw much stone and rubble along with them mighty spirits many stupid and bewildered heads.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The drive toward knowledge has a moral origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That lies should be necessary to life is part and parcel of the terrible and questionable character of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Kindliness, friendliness, the courtesy of the heart, are ever-flowing streams of non egoistic impulses, and have given far more powerful assistance to culture than even those much more famous demonstrations which are called pity, mercy, and self-sacrifice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful things: both do not want to be sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Very early in my life I took the question of the relation of art to truth seriously: even now I stand in holy dread in the face of this discordance. My first book was devoted to it. The Birth of Tragedy believes in art on the background of another belief
Friedrich Nietzsche
The arrogance that accompanies merit offends us even more than the arrogance of people who are lacking in merit: since merit itself offends us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
