More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
On the heights it is warmer than people in the valley suppose, especially in winter. The thinker recognizes the full import of this simile.
Friedrich Nietzsche
You shall become the person you are.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is hard enough to remember my opinions, without also remembering my reasons for them!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without cruelty there is no festival: thus the longest and most ancient part of human history teaches and in punishment there is so much that is festive!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, a hybrid of plant and ghost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If married couples did not live together, happy marriages would be more frequent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who has attained intellectual emancipation to any extent cannot, for a long time, regard himself otherwise than as a wanderer on the face of the earth and not even as a traveller towards a final goal, for there is no such thing.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The quality of a marriage is proven by its ability to tolerate an occasional exception.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Willing emancipateth: that is the true doctrine of will and emancipation - so teacheth you Zarathustra. No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me! And also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating and evolving delight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lack of closeness among friends is a fault that cannot be reprimanded without becoming incurable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It's not the intensity of the man, but the duration of his intensity that makes the man great.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The pure soul is a pure lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So far there has been no philosopher in whose hands philosophy has not grown into an apology for knowledge on this point, at least, every one is an optimist, that the greatest usefulness must be ascribed to knowledge. They are all tyrannized over by logic, and this is optimism in its essence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Verily, I do not want to be like the ropemakers: They drag out their threads and always walk backwards.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I could dispense with nothing when I created the superman. His seed still carries all your evil and falsehood, your lies and yourignorance.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
And so do you suppose it must be a piece-work because it has been given to you (and could only be given to you) in pieces?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Courage is the best slayer - courage which attacketh, for in every attack there is the sound of triumph.
Friedrich Nietzsche
