It is not to everyone's taste that truth should be pronounced pleasant. But at least let no one believe that error becomes truth when it is pronounced unpleasant.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The reasons for which 'this' world has been characterized as 'apparent' are the very reasons which indicate its reality any other kind of reality is absolutely indemonstrable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Morality is: the mediocre are worth more than the exceptions ... I abhore Christianity with a deadly hatred.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who chasteneth his God, because he loveth his God: for he must succumb through the wrath of his God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The refinement of morality increases together with the refinement of fear. Today the fear of disagreeable feelings in other people is almost the strongest of our own disagreeable feelings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I go in solitude, so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think after a time it always seems as if they want to banish myself from myself and rob me of my soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do you call yourself Free? It is your ruling thought that I would hear, and not that you have escaped from a yoke.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In true love it is the soul that envelops the body.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Epicurus had rage and envy of Plato's superior style.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If you believed more in life you would fling yourself less to the moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A man unconsciously imagines that where he is strong, where he feels most thoroughly alive, the element of his freedom must lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Species do not grow more perfect: the weaker dominate the strong, again and again- the reason being that they are the great majority, and they are also cleverer. Darwin forgot the mind (-that is English!): the weak possess more mind. ... To acquire mind, one must need mind-one loses it when one no longer needs it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Denn was ist Freiheit? Dasz man den Willen zur Selbstverantwortlichkeit hat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Emerson is a person who lives instinctively on ambrosia - and leaves everything indigestible on his plate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is man one of God's blunders? Or is God one of man's blunders?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Just look at the faces of the great Christians! They are the faces of great haters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must know how to conserve oneself- the best test of independence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The perfect woman is a higher type of humanity than the perfect man, and also something much rarer. The natural history of animals furnishes grounds in support of this theory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
