More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
In short, then, the religious cult is based upon the representations of sorcery between man and man, and the sorcerer is older than the priest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Democracy represents the disbelief in all great men and in all elite societies: everybody is everybody's equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If virtue goes to sleep, it will be more vigorous when it awakes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One had better put on gloves before handling the New Testament. The presence of so much filth makes it highly advisable.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God, the immortality of the soul, salvation, the beyond-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him whose soul is lavish, who wanteth no thanks and doth not give back: for he always bestoweth, and desireth not to keep for himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Inaction, letting be, neither creating nor destroying--that is my evil. And also the knower as one without desire.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life, and you, and I, and all of us together became for a while interesing to ourselves once more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of life itself cannot be estimated.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In order to be somebody you have to hold even your shadow in high regard.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Every power draws its ultimate consequences at every moment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Necessity is an interpretation, not a fact.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
So long as men praise you, you can only be sure that you are not yet on your own true path but on someone else's.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All isolation is wrong so say the herd. And long didst thou belong to the herd.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Faith as an imperative is a veto against science-in praxi, it means lies at any price.
Friedrich Nietzsche
As a result, nature is something entirely different from what comes to mind when we invoke its name.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
At one time or another, almost every politician needs an honest man so badly that, like a ravenous wolf, he breaks into a sheep-fold: not to devour the ram he has stolen, however, but rather to conceal himself behind its wooly back.
Friedrich Nietzsche
