Friedrich Nietzsche
The bite of conscience, like the bite of a dog into a stone, is a stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
We are most unfair to God we do not allow Him to sin.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more wisdom in your body than in your best wisdom. And who then knows why your body needs precisely your best wisdom?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The concepts soul, spirit and last of all the concept immortal soul were invented in order to despise the body, in order to make it sick - holy - in order to cultivate an attitude of appalling disrespect for all things in life which deserve to be treated seriously i.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We are, all of us, growing volcanoes that approach the hour of their eruption, but how near or distant that is, nobody knows- not even God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bite of conscience is indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
