What do you regard as most humane? To spare someone shame.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One day soon you will meet a man, and he will rise like a phoenix from the ashes, and it is my greatest hope that he will not give you syphilis.

Instinct. When the house burns one forgets even lunch. Yes, but one eats it later in the ashes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When a scholar of the old culture vows no longer to have anything to do with men who believe in progress, he is right. For the old culture has its greatness and goodness behind it, and an historical education forces one to admit that it can never again be fresh.

Image
The more abstract the truth you wish to teach, the more must you allure the senses to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The beautiful exists just as little as the true. In every case it is a question of the conditions of preservation of a certain type of man: thus the herd-man will experience the value feeling of the true in different things than will the overman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All prejudices may be traced back to the intestines. A sedentary life is the real sin against the Holy Ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Compassion for the friend should conceal itself under a hard shell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The noble man honours in himself the powerful one, him also who has power over himself, who knows how to speak and how to keep silence, who takes pleasure in subjecting himself to severity and hardness, and has reverence for all that is severe and hard.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There exists no more repulsive and desolate creature in the world than the man who has evaded his genius and who now looks furtively to left and right, behind him and all about him. ... He is wholly exterior, without kernel, a tattered, painted bag of clothes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The child as a monument to the passion of two people the will to oneness in two.

Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life.
