More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The destiny of the human race is to widen the gap separating it from the lower races of animals. Any code of morality which retains its permanence and authority after the conditions of existence which gave rise to it have changed, works against this upward progress of man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is a distinction to have many virtues, but a hard lot.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not in how one soul approaches another but in how it withdraws that I knowr its affinity and solidarity with the other.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No one lies so boldly as the man who is indignant.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ultimately, no one can extract from things, books included, more than he already knows.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Who is better, they who promote truth over happiness, or happiness over truth?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One can also be undignified and flattering toward a virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Dreadful experiences raise the question whether he who experiences them, is not something dreadful also.
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
Go through the towns and ask yourselves whether these people should reproduce! Let them go to their whores!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The great epochs of our life come when we gain the courage to rechristen our evil as what is best in us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As soon as we climb higher than those who had at one time admired us, we appear to them as though we have sunken and fallen down:for, in any event, they had at one time supposed that they were with us (even if it were through us) on the heights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is happening to me happens to all fruits that grow ripe. It is the honey in my veins that makes my blood thicker, and my soul quieter.
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
Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man loves danger and sport. That is why he loves woman, the most dangerous of all sports.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not the strengths, but the durations of great sentiments that make great men.
Friedrich Nietzsche
