More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The unlucky hand dealt to clear and precise writers is that people assume they are superficial and so do not go to any trouble inreading them: and the lucky hand dealt to unclear ones is that the reader does go to some trouble and then attributes the pleasure he experiences in his own zeal to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Praise is more obtrusive than a reproach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where is the lightning to lick you with its tongue? Where is the madness with which you should be cleansed? Behold, I show you the Superman. He is this lightning, he is this madness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Digressions, objections, delight in mockery, carefree mistrust are signs of health.
Friedrich Nietzsche
How did reason come into the world? As is fitting, in an irrational manner, by accident. One will have to guess at it as at a riddle.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The woman and the genius do not work. Up to now, woman has been mankind's supreme luxury. In all those moments when we do our best, we do not work. Work is merely a means to these moments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who are devoid of purpose will make the void their purpose.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Socrates and Plato are right: whatever man does he always does well, that is, he does that which seems to him good (useful) according to the degree of his intellect, the particular standard of his reasonableness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.--What was that god thinking who counseled, Know thyself! Did he perhaps mean,Cease to concern yourself! Become objective!--And Socrates?--And scientific men?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?
Friedrich Nietzsche
A little health now and again is the ailing person's best remedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men after death ... are understood worse than men of the moment, but heard better.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We do not hate as long as we still attach a lesser value, but only when we attach an equal or a greater value.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All that philosophers have handled for millennia has been conceptual mummies nothing actual has ever escaped from their hands alive.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, a hybrid of plant and ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is lavish, who wanteth no thanks and doth not give back: for he always bestoweth, and desireth not to keep for himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth... Through words and concepts we shall never reach beyond the wall off relations, to some sort of fabulous primal ground of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every talent must unfold itself in fighting.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life, and you, and I, and all of us together became for a while interesing to ourselves once more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The strongest have their moments of fatigue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
