More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Against war one might say that it makes the victor stupid and the vanquished malicious. In its favor, that in producing these two effects it barbarizes, and so makes the combatants more natural. For culture it is a sleep or a wintertime, and man emerges from it stronger for good and for evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Without forgetting it is quite impossible to live at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Bach there is still too much crude Christianity, crude Germanism, crude scholasticism he stands on the threshold of European (modern) music, but he looks back from there to the Middle Ages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Seducing one's neighbor to a good opinion and then afterwards believing devoutly in this neighbor's opinion--who can match women in this clever ploy?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Respectability offends my taste.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are the terrible ones who carry about in themselves the beast of prey, and have no choice except lusts or self-laceration. And even their lusts are self-laceration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I climb upon the highest mountains, laughing at all tragedies - whether real or imaginary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must know how to conserve oneself- the best test of independence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The good-they cannot create they are always the beginning of the end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Astrology presupposes that the heavenly bodies are regulated in their movements in harmony with the destiny of mortals: the moral man presupposes that that which concerns himself most nearly must also be the heart and soul of things.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Stupid as a man, say the women: cowardly as a woman, say the men. Stupidity in a woman is unwomanly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The living is merely a type of what is dead, and a very rare type.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Society tames the wolf into a dog. And man is the most domesticated animal of all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Was that life? Well then, once more!
Friedrich Nietzsche
One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I have not come to know atheism as a result of logical reasoning and still less as an event in my life: in me it is a matter of instinct.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his 'divine service.'
Friedrich Nietzsche
People who comprehend a thing to its very depths rarely stay faithful to it forever. For they have brought its depths into the light of day: and in the depths there is always much that is unpleasant to see.
Friedrich Nietzsche
