We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I go in solitude, so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think after a time it always seems as if they want to banish myself from myself and rob me of my soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Beauty is for the artist something outside all orders of rank, because in beauty opposites are tamed the highest sign of power, namely power over opposites moreover, without tension: - that violence is no longer needed: that everything follows, obeys, so easily and so pleasantly - that is what delights the artist's WILL TO POWER.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women are constituted in such a way that all truth (regarding men, love, children, society, the purpose of life) disgusts them, and in such a way that they try to revenge themselves on anyone who opens their eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life, and you, and I, and all of us together became for a while interesing to ourselves once more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do not be deceived! The busiest people harbor the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness--they no longer have the capacity for waiting and idleness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who sees little always sees less than there is to see the man who hears badly always hears something more than there is to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
But it is the same with man as with the tree. The more he seeketh to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously do his roots struggle earthward, downward, into the dark and deep — into the evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We operate with nothing but things which do not exist, with lines, planes, bodies, atoms, divisible time, divisible space - how should explanation even be possible when we first make everything into an image, into our own image!
Friedrich Nietzsche
You say it is the good cause that hallows even war? I say unto you: it is the good war that hallows any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
Weariness that wants to reach the ultimate with one leap, with one fatal leap, a poor ignorant weariness that does not want to want any more: this created all gods and afterworlds.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is something laughable about the sight of authors who enjoy the rustling folds of long and involved sentences: they are trying to cover up their feet.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The really royal calling of the philosopher (as expressed by Alcuin the Anglo-Saxon): To correct what is wrong, and strengthen the right, and raise what is holy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The person lives most beautifully who does not reflect upon existence
Friedrich Nietzsche
I want to teach men the sense of their existence, which is the Superman, the lightning out of the dark cloud man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
