More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In every philosophical school, three thinkers succeed one another in the following way: the first produces out of himself the sapand seed, the second draws it out into threads and spins a synthetic web, and the third waits in this web for the sacrificial victims that are caught in it--and tries to live off philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Certitude drives people mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The disgust with dirt can be so great that it keeps us from cleaning ourselves--from justifying ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever harm the evil may do, the harm done by the good is the most harmful harm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics - that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I hate who steals my solitude, without really offer me in exchange company.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How poisonous, how crafty, how bad, does every long war make one, which cannot be waged openly by means of force!
Friedrich Nietzsche
When good friends praise a gifted person he often appears to be delighted with them out of politeness and goodwill, but in reality he feels indifferent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Can an ass be tragic?--To perish under a burden that one can neither bear nor cast off? The case of the philosopher.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To be moral, correct, and virtuous is to be obedient to an old established law and custom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The familiarity of superiors embitters one, because it may not be returned.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women want to serve, and this is where their happiness lies: but the free spirit does not want to be served, and this is where hishappiness lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.Courageous, untroubled, mocking and violent-that is what Wisdom wants us to be. Wisdom is a woman, and loves only a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All great men are play actors of their own ideal.
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
Not to him who is offensive to us are we most unfair, but to him who doth not concern us at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
