Quote

This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.

The last Christian died on a cross.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
With the strength of his spiritual sight and insight the distance, and as it were the space, around man continually expands: his world grows deeper, ever new stars, ever new images and enigmas come into view.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is an end with priests and gods, if man becomes scientific. Moral: science is the thing forbidden in itself - it alone is forbidden. Science is the first sin, the germ of all sin, original sin. This alones is mortality: Thou shalt not know.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In the whole of the New Testament there is not one joke, that fact alone would invalidate any book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What good is a book that does not even transport us beyond all books?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We hear only those questions for which we are in a position to find answers.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly. Death of one's own free choice, death at the proper time, with a clear head and with joyfulness, consummated in the midst of children and witnesses: so that an actual leave-taking is possible while he who is leaving is still there.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When we cannot stand certain people, we try to have suspicions about them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Humility has the toughest hide.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One who has given up any hope of winning a fight or has clearly lost it wants his style in fighting to be admired all the more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whereas the man of action binds his life to reason and its concepts so that he will not be swept away and lost, the scientific investigator builds his hut right next to the tower of science so that he will be able to work on it and to find shelter for himself beneath those bulwarks which presently exist.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every talent must unfold itself in fighting.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The rising and falling of the scales of pride and humility sustain the brooding mind as well as the alternations of desire and peace of the soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
As far as Germany extends it ruins culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
No artist tolerates reality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man and man's earth are unexhausted and undiscovered. Wake and listen! Verily, the earth shall yet be a source of recovery. Remain faithful to the earth, with the power of your virtue. Let your gift-giving love and your knowledge serve the meaning of the earth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Wit is the epitaph of an emotion.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
For a significant man woman, the one thought he values greatly, to the laughter and scorn of insignificant men, is a key to hidden treasure chambers for those others, it is nothing but a piece of old iron.
Friedrich Nietzsche
