Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If virtue goes to sleep, it will be more vigorous when it awakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All that the world most needs today, is combined in the most seductive manner in his art, — the three great stimulants of exhausted people: brutality, artificiality and innocence (idiocy).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When death brings at last the desired forgetfulness, it abolishes life and being together, and sets the seal on the knowledge that being is merely a continual has been, a thing that lives by denying and destroying and contradicting itself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To find everything profound - that is an inconvenient trait. It makes one strain one's eyes all the time, and in the end one finds more than one might have wished.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
How difficult it is to live when one feels that the judgment of many millenniums is around one and against one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
