Friedrich Nietzsche
Without the errors which lie in the assumption of morality, man would have remained an animal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not want to be like the ropemakers: They drag out their threads and always walk backwards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We set no special value on the possession of a virtue until we percieve that it is entirely lacking in our adversary.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who does not wish to be one of the mass only needs to cease to be easy on himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Physiologists should think before putting down the instinct of self-preservation as the cardinal instinct of an organic being. A living thing seeks above all to discharge its strength--life itself is will to power self-preservation is only one of the indirect and most frequent results.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Among austere men intimacy involves shame--and is something precious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
