Friedrich Nietzsche
The criminal type is the type of the strong human being under unfavorable circumstances: a strong human being made sick.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a peacock hides his peacock tail from all eyes--and calls it his pride.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not go into churches if one wants to breathe pure air.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Certitude drives people mad.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No honey is sweeter than that of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How lovely it is that there are words and sounds. Are not words and sounds rainbows and illusive bridges between things which are eternally apart?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have not come to know atheism as a result of logical reasoning and still less as an event in my life: in me it is a matter of instinct.
Friedrich Nietzsche
love as a passion—it is our European specialty—must absolutely be of noble origin as is well known, its invention is due to the Provencal poet-cavaliers, those brilliant, ingenious men of the gai saber, to whom Europe owes so much, and almost owes itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.
Friedrich Nietzsche
