Friedrich Nietzsche
Every week we ought to have one hour for recieving letters, then go take a bath.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Prejudice of the learned. - The learned judge correctly that people of all ages have believed they know what is good and evil, praise- and blameworthy. But it is a prejudice of the learned that we now know better than any other age.
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
No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Shared joys make a friend, not shared sufferings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Philosophical systems are wholly true for their founders only.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ultimately, no one can extract from things, books included, more than he already knows.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When horror is associated with what is harmful, evil results, when disgust does, badness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I despise mystics, they fancy themselves so deep, when they aren't even superficial.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Metaphysical world.- It is true, there could be a metaphysical world the absolute possibility of it is hardly to be disputed. We behold all things through the human head and cannot cut off this head while the question nonetheless remains what of the world would still be there if one had cut it off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men submit from habit to everything that seeks power.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where one despises, one cannot wage war.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Let old ones go. Dont be a memory-monger! Once you were young──now you are even younger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not like them, the merciful who feel blessed in their pity: they are lacking too much in shame. If I must pity, at least I do not want it known and if I do pity, it is preferably from a distance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
