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.
Friedrich Nietzsche

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Emerson is a person who lives instinctively on ambrosia - and leaves everything indigestible on his plate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At the very moment when someone is beginning to take philosophy seriously, the whole world believes the opposite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every high degree of power always involves a corresponding degree of freedom from good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance one cannot fly into flying.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is far pleasanter to injure and afterwards beg forgiveness than to be injured and grant forgiveness. He who does the former gives evidence of power and afterwards of kindness of character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
i have never pondered over questions that are not questions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope, in its stronger forms, is a great deal more powerful stimulans to life than any sort of realized joy can ever be. Man must be sustained in suffering by a hope so high that no conflict with actuality can dash it - so high, indeed, that no fulfilment can satisfy it: a hope reaching out beyond this world.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What makes us heroic?--Confronting simultaneously our supreme suffering and our supreme hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
one does not only wish to be understood when one writes one wishes just as surely not to be understood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are the terrible ones who carry about in themselves the beast of prey, and have no choice except lusts or self-laceration. And even their lusts are self-laceration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Behold! I am weary of my wisdom, like the bee that has gathered too much honey I need hands outstretched to take it from me. I wish to spread it and bestow it, until the wise have once more become joyous in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strength required for the vision of the most powerful reality is not only compatible with the most powerful strength for action, for monstrous action, for crime - it even presupposes it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concepts beyond and real world were invented in order to depreciate the only world that exists-in order that no goal, no aim or task might be left for our earthly reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is evil?-Whatever springs from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every talent must unfold itself in fighting.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The refinement of morality increases together with the refinement of fear. Today the fear of disagreeable feelings in other people is almost the strongest of our own disagreeable feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not a man, I am dynamite!
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you are too weak to give yourselves your own law, then a tyrant shall lay his yoke upon you and say: Obey! Clench your teeth and obey! And all good and evil shall be drowned in obedience to him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
