More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you plan to do in the land of the sleepers? You have been floating in a sea of solitude, and the sea has borne you up. At long last, are you ready for dry land? Are you ready to drag yourself ashore?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We grow hostile to many an artist or writer, not because we finally come to see he has deceived us, but because he thought no subtler means were required to ensnare us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is not merely an imitation of the reality of nature, but in truth a metaphysical supplement to the reality of nature, placed alongside thereof for its conquest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Human life is inexplicable, and still without meaning: a fool may decide its fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you have hitherto believed that life was one of the highest value and now see yourselves disappointed, do you at once have to reduce it to the lowest possible price?
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption, but how near or distant that is, nobody knows- not even God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My abyss speaks, I have turned my ultimate depth inside out into the light.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Just look at the faces of the great Christians! They are the faces of great haters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Original minds are not distinguished by being the first to see a new thing, but instead by seeing the old, familiar thing that is over-looked as something new.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little poison now and then: that makes for pleasant dreams. And a lot of poison at the end, for a pleasant death.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The gilded sheath of pity sometimes covers the dagger of envy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon drop off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the fundamental idea of culture, insofar as it sets but one task for each of us: to further the production of the philosopher, of the artist, and of the saint within us and outside us, and thereby to work at the consummation of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a terrible thought, to contemplate that an immense number of mediocre thinkers are occupied with really influential matters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn't.
Friedrich Nietzsche
