Lust and self-mutilation are closely related impulses. There are also self-mutilators among knowers: they do not want to be creators under any circumstances.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Even today a crude sort of persecution is all that is required to create an honorable name for any sect, no matter how indifferent in itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move. Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The Greeks, with their truly healthy culture, have once and for all justified philosophy simply by having engaged in it, and having engaged in it more fully than any other people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We seldom break our leg so long as life continues a toilsome upward climb. The danger comes when we begin to take things easily and choose the convenient paths.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All that philosophers have handled for millennia has been conceptual mummies nothing actual has ever escaped from their hands alive.
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
Should not the giver be thankful that the receiver received? Is not giving a need? Is not receiving, mercy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Science offends the modesty of all real women. It makes them feel as though it were an attempt to peek under their skin--or, worseyet, under their dress and ornamentation!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Why couldn't the world that concerns us- be a fiction? And if somebody asked, 'but to be a fiction there surely belongs an author?'- couldn't one answer simply: 'Why? Doesn't this belongs perhaps belong to the fiction, too?'
Friedrich Nietzsche
No man ever wrote more eloquently and luminously [than Heraclitus].
Friedrich Nietzsche
For the woman, the man is a means: the end is always the child.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do you call yourself Free? It is your ruling thought that I would hear, and not that you have escaped from a yoke.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever commits to paper what he suffers becomes a melancholy author: but he becomes a serious author when he tells us what he suffered and why he now reposes in joy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Once and for all, there are many things I choose not to know.--Wisdom sets limits even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The perfect woman is a higher type of humanity than the perfect man, and also something much rarer. The natural history of animals furnishes grounds in support of this theory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There would be no sunshine in society if the born flatterers, I mean the so-called amiable people, did not bring it in with them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
They're so cold, these scholars! May lightning strike their food so that their mouths learn how to eat fire!
Friedrich Nietzsche
