More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and may succumb through a small matter: thus goeth he willingly over the bridge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is impossible to suffer without making someone pay for it every complaint already contains revenge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Compassion for the friend should conceal itself under a hard shell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The State is the coldest of all cold monsters.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I despise mystics, they fancy themselves so deep, when they aren't even superficial.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Socrates ... is the first philosopher of life [Lebensphilosoph], ... Thinking serves life, while among all previous philosophers life had served thought and knowledge. ... Thus Socratic philosophy is absolutely practical: it is hostile to all knowledge unconnected to ethical implications.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The domestication (the culture) of man does not go deep--where it does go deep it at once becomes degeneration (type: the Christian). The 'savage' (or, in moral terms, the evil man) is a return to nature--and in a certain sense his recovery, his cure from 'culture'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Natural death is independent of all reason and is really an irrational death, in which the pitiable substance of the shell determines how long the kernel is to exist or not in which, accordingly, the stunted, diseased and dull witted jailer is lord, and indicates the moment at which his distinguished prisoner shall die.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence he observes closely, and he enjoys his observation: for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
For let us not underestimate the Christian: the Christian, false to the point of innocence, is far above the ape-regarding Christians, a well known theory of descent becomes a mere compliment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes in conversation the sound of our own voice distracts us and misleads us into making assertions that in no way express our true opinions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The charm of knowledge would be small indeed, were it not that there is so much shame to be overcome on the way to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We forget our guilt when we have confessed it to another, but the other does not usually forget it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
