More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The world is beautiful, but has a disease called man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All philosophy is a form of confession.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every word has its fragrance: there is a harmony and a disharmony of fragrances, and hence of words.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is the only animal that must be encouraged to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At one time or another, almost every politician needs an honest man so badly that, like a ravenous wolf, he breaks into a sheep-fold: not to devour the ram he has stolen, however, but rather to conceal himself behind its wooly back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall in his favour, and who then asketh: Am I a dishonest player? - for he is willing to succumb.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The love of power is the demon of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Praise is more obtrusive than a reproach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All isolation is wrong so say the herd. And long didst thou belong to the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who possesseth little is so much the less possessed. Blessed be moderate poverty!
Friedrich Nietzsche
You must await your thirst and allow it to become complete: otherwise you will never discover your spring, which can never be anyone else's!
Friedrich Nietzsche
One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why couldn't the world that concerns us- be a fiction? And if somebody asked, 'but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?'- couldn't one answer simply: 'Why? Doesn't this belongs perhaps belong to the fiction, too?'
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity gave Eros poison to drink he did not die of it, certainly, but degenerated to Vice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is nothing we like to communicate to others as much as the seal of secrecy together with what lies under it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
