More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Error has made man so deep, sensitive, and inventive that he has put forth such blossoms as religions and arts. Pure knowledge could not have been capable of it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democratic institutions form a system of quarantine for tyrannical desires.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not the strengths, but the durations of great sentiments that make great men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We believe that we know something about the things themselves when we speak of trees, colors, snow, and flowers and yet we possess nothing but metaphors for things - metaphors which correspond in no way to the original entities.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You say a good cause justifies any war but I say a good war justifies any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The genius-in work and in deed-is necessarily a squanderer: the fact that he spends himself constitutes his greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should part from life as Odysseus parted from Nausicaa-blessing it rather than in love with it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The final reward of the dead - to die no more
Friedrich Nietzsche
My conception of freedom. — The value of a thing sometimes does not lie in that which one attains by it, but in what one pays for it — what it costs us. Liberal institutions cease to be liberal as soon as they are attained: later on, there are no worse and no more thorough injurers of freedom than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Zarathustra was the first to consider the fight of good and evil the very wheel in the machinery of things: the transposition of morality into the metaphysical realm, as a force, cause, and end in itself, is his work. [...] Zarathustra created this most calamitous error, morality consequently, he must also be the first to recognize it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who possesseth little is so much the less possessed. Blessed be moderate poverty!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the privilege of greatness to confer intense happiness with insignificant gifts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In being wildly natural we recover best from being unnatural, from being spiritual.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Tragedy is dead! Poetry itself died with it! Away, away with you, puny, stunted imitators! Away with you to Hades, and eat your fill of the old masters' crumbs!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, and the one great instinct of revenge, for which no means are venomous enough, or secret, subterranean and small enough - I call it the one immortal blemish on the human race.
Friedrich Nietzsche
