Lying very still and thinking very little is the most inexpensive medicine for all the sicknesses of the soul, and when administered with good intentions it grows more and more pleasant with each passing hour.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
As soon as we are shown the existence of something old in a new thing, we are pacified.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A reader is doubly guilty of bad manners against an author when he praises his second book at the expense of his first (or vice versa) and then expects the author to be grateful for what he has done.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I welcome all the signs indicating that a more manly and warlike age is commencing, which will, above all, bring heroism again into honour!
Friedrich Nietzsche
A certain type of person strives to become a master over all, and to extend his force, his will to power, and to subdue all that resists it. But he encounters the power of others, and comes to an arrangement, a union, with those that are like him: thus they work together to serve the will to power. And the process goes on.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In our interactions with people, a benevolent hypocrisy is frequently required--acting as though we do not see through the motivesof their actions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
I love those who do not know how to live, except by going under, for they are those who cross over.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He that writeth in blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but learnt by heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Too long, the earth has been a madhouse!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.
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
He who cannot command himself should obey. And many can command themselves, but much is still lacking before they can obey themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
there they laugh: they do not understand me I am not the mouth for these ears.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more must you allure the senses to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The doer alone learneth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not destroy, strengthens.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, full of emptiness and torn apart with homesickness for the desert has had to create from within himself an adventure, a torture-chamber, an unsafe and hazardous wilderness- this fool, this prisoner consumed with longing and despair, became the inventor of 'bad conscience'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A bad conscience is easier to cope with than a bad reputation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
