More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
But let me open up my heart to you completely, my friends: if there were gods, how could I bear not being a god! Hence, there areno gods. I drew this conclusion, to be sure--but now it draws me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is something to be surpassed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One's own self is well hidden from one's own self of all mines of treasure, one's own is the last to be dug up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It was Christianity, with its heartfelt resentment against life, that first made something unclean of sexuality: it threw filth on the origin, on the essential fact of our life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The trodden worm curls up. This testifies to its caution. It thus reduces its chances of being trodden upon again. In the language of morality: Humility.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where do your greatest dangers lie?--In pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer, than into the dreams of a lustful woman?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Silence is worse all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You lack the courage to be consumed in flames and to become ashes: so you will never become new, and never young again!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: ever since, I let myself run. I have learned to fly: ever since, I do not want to be pushed before moving along.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Learn to laugh at yourselves as one must laugh!
Friedrich Nietzsche
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
there they laugh: they do not understand me I am not the mouth for these ears.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The enormous expectation having to do with sexual love and the shame involved in this expectation degrades all a woman's perspectives from the start.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
