More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is nobler to declare oneself wrong than to insist on being right --especially when one is right.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most unendurable thing, to be sure, the really terrible thing, would be a life without habits, a life which continually required improvisation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.
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
All beings so far have created something beyond themselves and do you want to be the ebb of this great flood and even go back to the beasts rather than overcome man? What is the ape to man? A laughingstock or a painful embarrassment. And man shall be just that for the overman: a laughingstock or a painful embarrassment.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to belong to the mass needs only to cease taking himself easily let him follow his conscience, which calls to him: Be your self! All you are now doing, thinking, desiring, is not you yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
You look up when you wish to be exalted. And I look down because I am exalted.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In almost all sciences the fundamental knowledge is either found in earliest times or is still being sought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Robinson had a servant even better than Friday: His name was Crusoe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is the best of all devices for leading mankind by the nose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where one despises, one cannot wage war.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which intoxicates, the sensually ecstatic, the sudden surprise, the urge to be profoundly stirred at any price -- dreadful tendencies!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bite of conscience, like the bite of a dog into a stone, is a stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concepts soul, spirit and last of all the concept immortal soul were invented in order to despise the body, in order to make it sick - holy - in order to cultivate an attitude of appalling disrespect for all things in life which deserve to be treated seriously i.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another person lives acts and experiences otherwise than we do?
Friedrich Nietzsche
