More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The same passions in man and woman nonetheless differ in tempo hence man and woman do not cease misunderstanding one another.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enduring habits I hate.... Yes, at the very bottom of my soul I feel grateful to all my misery and bouts of sickness and everything about me that is imperfect, because this sort of thing leaves me with a hundred backdoors through which I can escape from enduring habits.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Either one does not dream, or one does so interestingly. One should learn to spend one's waking life in the same way: not at all, or interestingly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Life is hard to bear: but do not affect to be so delicate! We are all of us fine sumpter asses and assesses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We possess art lest we perish of the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
When a scholar of the old culture vows no longer to have anything to do with men who believe in progress, he is right. For the old culture has its greatness and goodness behind it, and an historical education forces one to admit that it can never again be fresh.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The worst readers are those who behave like plundering troops: they take away a few things they can use, dirty and confound the remainder, and revile the whole.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My formula for happiness: a Yes, a No, a straight line, a goal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To find everything profound - that is an inconvenient trait. It makes one strain one's eyes all the time, and in the end one finds more than one might have wished.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is the greatest thing ye can experience? It is the hour of great contempt. The hour in which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so also your reason and virtue.
Friedrich Nietzsche
On every parable you ride to every truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Probability but no truth, facility but no freedom--it is owing to these two fruits that the tree of knowledge cannot be confused with the tree of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pitch-black winter nights live in my bones.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We evaluate the services that anyone renders to us according to the value he puts on them, not according to the value they have for us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The sensible author writes for no other posterity than his own--that is, for his age--so as to be able even then to take pleasurein himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
With one more talent one frequently stands with greater instability than with one less, as a table stands better on three legs than on four.
Friedrich Nietzsche
