More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
What verse is for the poet, dialectical thinking is for the philosopher. He grasps for it in order to get hold of his own enchantment, in order to perpetuate it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is only possible through the fact that sympathy for the general life and suffering of mankind is very weakly developed in the individual.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus the will to power strives towards oppositions, towards displeasure. There is a will to suffering at the foundation of all organic life (contrary to happiness as goal).
Friedrich Nietzsche
When Zarathustra was alone . . . he said to his heart: Could it be possible! This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We ought to learn from the kine one thing: ruminating.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Youth is an unpleasant period for then it is not possible or not prudent to be productive in any sense whatsoever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the stream.- Mighty waters draw much stone and rubble along with them mighty spirits many stupid and bewildered heads.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the difference between someone who is convinced and one who is deceived? None, if he is well deceived.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Here the ways of men divide. If you wish to strive for peace of soul and happiness, then believe if you wish to be a disciple of truth, then inquire.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is evil?-Whatever springs from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is thus only this personal feeling of misery that we get rid of by acts of pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Death is close enough at hand so we do not need to be afraid of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
