More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A few hours of mountain climbing make a blackguard and a saint two rather similar creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One should not be deceived: great spirits are skeptics ... Strength, FREEDOM which is born of the strength and overstrength of the spirit, proves itself by skepticism. Men of conviction are not worthy of the least consideration in fundamental questions of value and disvalue. Convictions are prisons.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I live in my own place - have never copied anyone even half, and at any master who lacks the grace - to laugh at himself - I laugh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The idealist is incorrigible: if he is thrown out of his heaven he makes an ideal of his hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Success has always been a great liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Madness is not a consequence of uncertainty but of certainty.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The relatives of a suicide hold it against him that out of consideration for their reputation he did not remain alive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Only great pain is, as the teacher of great suspicion, the ultimate liberator of the spirit...I doubt whether such pain improves us-but I do know it deepens us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The thought is merely a sign, as the word is merely a sign for the thought.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Posthumous men-myself, for example-are not as well understood as timely ones, but we are listened to better. More precisely: we are never understood-hence our authority.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Anti-theses.- The most senile thing ever thought about man is contained in the celebrated saying 'the ego is always hateful' the most childish is the even more celebrated 'love thy neighbor as thyself'. - In the former, knowledge of human nature has ceased, in the latter it has not yet even begun.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sit as little as possible. Give no credence to any thought that was not born outdoors while moving about freely.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At the beginning of a marriage ask yourself whether this woman will be interesting to talk to from now until old age. Everything else in marriage is transitory: most of the time is spent in conversation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Willing emancipateth: that is the true doctrine of will and emancipation - so teacheth you Zarathustra. No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me! And also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating and evolving delight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am not a man, I am dynamite!
Friedrich Nietzsche
