More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
But not to perish from internal distress and doubt when one inflicts great suffering and hears the cry of suffering : that is great, that belongs to greatness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Freedom of opinion is like health both are individual, and no good general conception can be set up of either of them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the most sensual men who need to flee women and torment their bodies.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity gave Eros poison to drink he did not die of it, certainly, but degenerated to Vice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Bad cooks - and the utter lack of reason in the kitchen - have delayed human development longest and impaired it most.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What do you believe in?--In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.
Friedrich Nietzsche
History is nothing more than the belief in the senses, the belief in falsehood.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You are treading the path to your greatness: no one shall follow you here! Your passage has effaced the path behind you, and above that path stands written: Impossibility.
Friedrich Nietzsche
No artist will tolerate the world for one second as it is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
