More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Belief in form, but disbelief in content - that's what makes an aphorism charming.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To explore the whole sphere of the modern soul, to have sat in every nook- my ambition, my torture, and my happiness
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everything in the world displeases me: but, above all, my displeasure in everything displeases me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Disobedience- that is the nobility of slaves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is our needs that interpret the world our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all other drives to accept as a norm.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
[Heraclitus] did not require humans or their sort of knowledge, since everything into which one may inquire he despises [as being] in contrast [to his own] inward-turning wisdom. [To him] all learning from others is a sign of nonwisdom, because the wise man focuses his vision on his own intelligence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.
Friedrich Nietzsche
there they laugh: they do not understand me I am not the mouth for these ears.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where is the lightning to lick you with its tongue? Where is the madness with which you should be cleansed? Behold, I show you the Superman. He is this lightning, he is this madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If there were gods, how could I endure not to be a god? Therefore there are no gods.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No man ever wrote more eloquently and luminously [than Heraclitus].
Friedrich Nietzsche
When I contemplated purpose I also contemplated chance and foolishness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Epicurus had rage and envy of Plato's superior style.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race can no more be exterminated than the flea can be. The last man lives the longest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What really raises one's indignation against suffering is not suffering intrinsically, but the senselessness of suffering
Friedrich Nietzsche
