The woman and the genius do not work. Up to now, woman has been mankind's supreme luxury. In all those moments when we do our best, we do not work. Work is merely a means to these moments.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
How did reason come into the world? As is fitting, in an irrational manner, by accident. One will have to guess at it as at a riddle.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaking is a beautiful folly with that man dances over all things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I enquire now as to the genesis of a philologist and assert the following: 1. A young man cannot possibly know what Greeks and Romans are. 2. He does not know whether he is suited for finding out about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many people, especially women, never experience boredom because they have never learned to work properly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a man reaches his maturity in understanding and in years, the feeling comes over him that his father was wrong to beget him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We criticize a thinker more acutely when he advances a proposition that is disagreeable to us and yet it would be more reasonableto do so when his proposition is agreeable to us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I could only believe in a God who could dance... And now a God dances through me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall only have foes to be hated but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thou seekest disciples? Then thou seekest ciphers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once blasphemy again God was the greatest blasphemy but God died, and thereupon those blasphemers died too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The greatest events-they are not our loudest but our stillest hours.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is no pre-established harmony between the furtherance of truth and the well-being of mankind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
