Friedrich Nietzsche

We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There did he sit shrivelled in his chimney corner, fretting on account of his weak legs, world weary, will weary, and one day he suffocated through his excessive pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every profound spirit needs a mask: even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Some rule out of a lust for ruling others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Improvements are invented only by those who can feel that something is not good.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Sometimes it just takes stronger eyeglasses to cure those who are in love--and someone with the ability to imagine a face or a figure twenty years older might perhaps pass through life quite undisturbed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
God, the immortality of the soul, salvation, the beyond-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For some natures, changing their opinions is just as much a requirement of cleanliness as changing their clothes: for others, however, it is merely a requirement of vanity.
