Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A reader is doubly guilty of bad manners against an author when he praises his second book at the expense of his first (or vice versa) and then expects the author to be grateful for what he has done.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
By losing your goal, You have lost your way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is the powerful who know how to honour, it is their art, their domain for invention.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
About sacrifice and the offering of sacrifices, sacrificial animals think quite differently from those who look on: but they have never been allowed to have their say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.
