Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Superman is the meaning of the earth. Let your will say: The Superman shall be the meaning of the earth!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things:—then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love from henceforth!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

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
God, the immortality of the soul, salvation, the beyond-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Not the intensity but the duration of high feelings makes high men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more wisdom in your body than in your best wisdom. And who then knows why your body needs precisely your best wisdom?
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
You must be born for your physician, otherwise you are bound to perish because of your physician.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The coward does not know what it means to be alone: an enemy is always standing behind his chair.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If an architect wants to strengthen a decrepit arch, he increases the load laid upon it, for thereby the parts are joined more firmly together.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In a seriously intended intellectual emancipation a person's mute passions and cravings also hope to find their advantage.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
