More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To one who is accustomed to thinking a lot, every new thought that he hears or reads about immediately appears as a link in a chain.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For both parties in a controversy, the most disagreeable way of retaliating is to be vexed and silent for the aggressor usually regards the silence as a sign of contempt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The soul must have its chosen sewers to carry away its ordure. This function is performed by persons, relationships, professions, the fatherland, the world, or finally, for the really arrogant - I mean our modern pessimists - by the Good God himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is more ape than many of the apes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The danger in happiness - Now everything is turning out right for me from now on i'll love every turn of fate - Who wants to be my fate?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Winter, a bad guest, sitteth with me at home blue are my hands with his friendly handshaking
Friedrich Nietzsche
One hears - one does not seek one takes - one does not ask who gives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Just as a waterfall grows slower and more lightly suspended as it plunges down, so the great man of action tends to act with greater calmness than his tempestuous desires prior to the deed would lead one to expect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You must climb above yourself-up and beyond, until you have even your stars under you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I see many soldiers could I but see many warriors! Uniform one calleth what they wear may it not be uniform what they therewith hide!
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong currents drag many stones and bushes along with them, strong intellects many dense and muddled minds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Suspicious.- To admit a belief merely because it is a custom - but that means to be dishonest, cowardly, lazy! - And so could dishonesty, cowardice and laziness be the preconditions for morality?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing--that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Conversation with a friend will only bear good fruit of knowledge when both think only of the matter under consideration and forget that they are friends.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We pay dearly for immortality: we die for it more than once during our lifetimes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
