The saying, The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored, is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.--A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Be careful who you choose as your enemy because that's who you become most like.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I believe only in French culture and consider everything in Europe that calls itself 'culture' a misunderstanding, not to speak of German culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Reason in language - oh, what an old deceptive female she is! I am afraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the good war that hallows every cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am really very, very tired of everything - more than tired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Out of love, women become entirely what it is that they are in the imaginations of the men who love them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge - and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves - how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes all you need to do to win clever people over to a principle is to present it in the form of a shocking paradox.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If there is to be art, if there is to be any aesthetic doing and seeing, one physiological condition is indispensable: frenzy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A married philosopher belongs to comedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One ought to hold on to one's heart for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The golden age, when rambunctious spirits were regarded as the source of evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The so-called paradoxes of an author, to which a reader takes exception, often exist not in the author's book at all, but rather in the reader's head.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We believe that we know something about the things themselves when we speak of trees, colors, snow, and flowers and yet we possess nothing but metaphors for things - metaphors which correspond in no way to the original entities.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Our drives are reducible to the will to power. The will to power is the ultimate fact at which we arrive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of many men and books rests solely on their faculty for compelling all to seek out the most hidden and intimate things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever, at any time, has undertaken to build a new heaven has found the strength for it in his own hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
