More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
To demand of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a desire to overcome, a desire to throw down, a desire to become master, a thirst for enemies and resistances and triumphs, is just as absurd as to demand of weakness that it should express itself as strength.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If a man wishes to rid himself of a feeling of unbearable oppression, he may have to take hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Interest in Education will acquire great strength only from the moment when belief in a God and His care is renounced, just as the art of healing could only flourish when the belief in miracle cures ceased.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A good aphorism is too hard for the tooth of time, and is not worn away by all the centuries, although it serves as food for every epoch.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The beautiful exists just as little as the true. In every case it is a question of the conditions of preservation of a certain type of man: thus the herd-man will experience the value feeling of the true in different things than will the overman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When man does not have firm, calm lines on the horizon of his life- mountain and forest lines, as it were- then a man's innermost will becomes agitated, preoccupied, and wistful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
Faith means the will to avoid knowing what is true.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Without music, life would be an error. The German imagines even God singing songs
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever, at any time, has undertaken to build a new heaven has found the strength for it in his own hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The 'kingdom of God' is not something one waits for it has no yesterday or tomorrow, it does not come 'in a thousand years' it is an experience within a heart it is everywhere, it is nowhere.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One ought to hold on to one's heart for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon drop off.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We are most unfair to God we do not allow Him to sin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The spiritualization of sensuality is called love: it is a great triumph over Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Good deeds shun the light as anxiously as evil deeds: the latter fear that disclosure will bring on pain (as punishment), while the former fear that disclosure will take away pleasure (that pure pleasure, that pleasure per se, which immediately ceases once the vanity's satisfaction is added).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
