More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
When somebody dies we usually need reasons for consolation, not so much to alleviate our pain as to excuse ourselves for so readily feeling consoled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody's equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage marks the end of many short follies - being one long stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Growth in wisdom can be measured precisely by decline in bile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Immature is the love of the youth, and immature his hatred of man and earth. His mind and the wings of his spirit are still tied down and heavy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can lie with the mouth, but with the accompanying grimace one nevertheless tells the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The soul must have its chosen sewers to carry away its ordure. This function is performed by persons, relationships, professions, the fatherland, the world, or finally, for the really arrogant - I mean our modern pessimists - by the Good God himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Your god is dead and only the ignorant weep. And if you claim there is a hell, then we shall meet there!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Existence begins in every instant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democratic institutions form a system of quarantine for tyrannical desires.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last analysis, even the best woman is bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The unselective knowledge drive resembles the indiscriminate sexual drive--signs of vulgarity!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever has provoked men to rage against him has always gained a party in his favor, too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However unchristian it may seem, I do not even bear any ill feeling towards myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Close beside my knowledge lies my black ignorance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The truth is ugly: we have art so as not to perish from the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
