More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
We are unknown to ourselves, we men of knowledge - and with good reason. We have never sought ourselves - how could it happen that we should ever find ourselves? It has rightly been said: Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also our treasure is where the beehives of our knowledge are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Worldly Wisdom Do not stay in the field! Nor climb out of sight. The best view of the world Is from a medium height.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those are my enemies: they want to overthrow and to construct nothing themselves. They say: All that is worthless--and want to create no value themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If ye would go up high, then use your own legs! Do not get yourselves carried aloft do not seat yourselves on other people's backs and heads!
Friedrich Nietzsche
I teach you the Overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? ... The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One hears - one does not seek one takes - one does not ask who gives.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every word is a prejudice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Woman learns to hate to the extent to which her charms decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When one does away with oneself one does the most estimable thing possible: one thereby almost deserves to live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One never dives into the water to save a drowning man more eagerly than when there are others present who dare not take the risk.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To discover he is loved in return ought really to disenchant the lover with the beloved.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All parties attempt to represent important things that have developed outside themselves as unimportant, and where they fail in this they assail those things all the more bitterly the more admirable they are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I believe only in French culture and consider everything in Europe that calls itself 'culture' a misunderstanding, not to speak of German culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must give value to their existence by behaving as if ones very existence were a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I am really very, very tired of everything - more than tired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So far no one had had enough courage and intelligence to reveal me to my dear Germans. My problems are new, my psychological horizon frighteningly comprehensive, my language bold and clear there may well be no books written in German which are richer in ideas and more independent than mine.
Friedrich Nietzsche
