Image
The greatest progress that the human race has made lies in learning how to make correct inferences.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I am the leading strings of the ego and the prompter of its concepts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Spirit. Only those thoughts that come by walking have any value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This sign I give you: every people speaks its tongue of good and evil, which the neighbor does not understand. It has invented its own language of customs and rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Indeed, what forces us at all to suppose that there is an essential opposition of 'true' and 'false'? Is it not sufficient to assume degrees of apparentness and, as it were, lighter and darker shadows and shades of appearance- different 'values', to use the language of painters?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
They muddy the water, to make it seem deep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I enquire now as to the genesis of a philologist and assert the following: 1. A young man cannot possibly know what Greeks and Romans are. 2. He does not know whether he is suited for finding out about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are doubly willing to jump into the water after some one who has fallen in, if there are people present who have not the courage to do so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The flame is not as bright to itself as it is to those it illuminates: so too the sage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The higher culture an individual attains, the less field there is left for mockery and scorn.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Species do not grow more perfect: the weaker dominate the strong, again and again- the reason being that they are the great majority, and they are also cleverer. Darwin forgot the mind (-that is English!): the weak possess more mind. ... To acquire mind, one must need mind-one loses it when one no longer needs it.

The real world is much smaller than the imaginary
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Live dangerously. Build your cities on the slopes of Vesuvius.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
[Heraclitus had] the highest form of pride [stemming] from a certainty of belief in the truth as grasped by himself alone. He brings this form, by its excessive development, into a sublime pathos by involuntary identification of himself with his truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All isolation is wrong so say the herd. And long didst thou belong to the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
But are there many honest people who will admit that it is pleasing to give pain?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I climb upon the highest mountains, laughing at all tragedies - whether real or imaginary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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!
