Friedrich Nietzsche
A good seat on a horse steals away your opponent's courage and your onlooker's heart-what reason is there to attack? Sit like one who has conquered?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Whoever writes in blood and aphorisms wants not to be learned but to be learned by heart.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is possible that the production of genius is reserved to a limited period of mankind's history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ego, sayest thou, and art proud of that word. But the greater thing - in which thou art unwilling to believe - is thy body with its big sagacity it saith not ego, but doeth it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is most dishonest to one's god: he is not allowed to sin.

The demand to be loved is the greatest of all arrogant presumptions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
