More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The higher man is distinguished from the lower by his fearlessness and his readiness to challenge misfortune.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It quite often happens that the old man is subject to the delusion of a great moral renewal and rebirth, and from this experience he passes judgments on the work and course of his life, as if he had only now become clear-sighted and yet the inspiration behind this feeling of well-being and these confident judgements is not wisdom, but weariness .
Friedrich Nietzsche
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A change of values - that means, a change of the creators of values. He who has to be a creator always has to destroy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I would only believe in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity—through him all things fall. Not by wrath does one kill but by laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I believe only in French culture and consider everything in Europe that calls itself 'culture' a misunderstanding, not to speak of German culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You must climb above yourself-up and beyond, until you have even your stars under you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is more ape than many of the apes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more must you allure the senses to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Asceticism is the right way of thinking for those who have to extirpate their sensual drives because they are ravening beasts of prey. But only for those!
Friedrich Nietzsche
But thought is one thing, the deed is another, and the image of the deed still another: the wheel of causality does not roll between them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure only the Englishman does.
Friedrich Nietzsche
