Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One has to know the size of one's stomach.

So live your life of obedience and of war! What matter about long life! What warrior wisheth to be spared!
Friedrich Nietzsche

Assuming that he believes at all, the everyday Christian is a pitiful figure, a man who really cannot count up to three, and who besides, precisely because of his mental incompetence, would not deserve such a punishment as Christianity promises him.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One pays dearly for being immortal: one must die many times during his life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One can also be undignified and flattering toward a virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When good friends praise a gifted person he often appears to be delighted with them out of politeness and goodwill, but in reality he feels indifferent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Too long, the earth has been a madhouse!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
God is a gross answer, an indelicacy against us thinkers- at bottom merely a gross prohibition for us: you shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Great intellects are skeptical.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
That little hypocrites and half-crazed people dare to imagine that on their account the laws of nature are constantly broken such an enhancement of every kind of selfishness to infinity, to impudence, cannot be branded with sufficient contempt. And yet Christianity owes its triumph to this pitiable flattery of personal vanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We praise or blame as one or the other affords more opportunity for exhibiting our power of judgement.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.
