Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Some men have sighed over the abduction of their wives, but many more have sighed because no one wanted to abduct theirs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There are slavish souls who carry their appreciation for favors done them so far that they strangle themselves with the rope of gratitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity. For the crowd believes that if it cannot see to the bottom of something it must be profound. It is so timid and dislikes going into the water.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
... art approaches as a saving sorceress, expert at healing. She alone knows how to turn these nauseous thoughts about the horror or absurdity of existence into notions with which one can live.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To get into just those situations where sham virtues will not suffice, but rather where, as with the ropedancer on his rope, one either falls or stands--or gets down.
Friedrich Nietzsche

We labour at our daily work more ardently and thoughtlessly than is necessary to sustain our life because it is even more necessary not to have leisure to stop and think. Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.

We must be cruel as well as compassionate: let us guard against becoming poorer than nature is!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Most people are far too much occupied with themselves to be malicious.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Our salvation lies not in knowing, but in creating!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Someone who does not write books, who thinks a lot, and who lives in unsatisfying society will usually be a good letter- writer.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is no longer an artist, he has become a work of art.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Unexplained, obscure matters are regarded as more important than explained, clear ones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
