More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
Dancing in all its forms cannot be excluded from the curriculum of all noble education dancing with the feet, with ideas, with words, and, need I add that one must also be able to dance with the pen?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Epicurus had rage and envy of Plato's superior style.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a peacock hides his peacock tail from all eyes--and calls it his pride.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, full of emptiness and torn apart with homesickness for the desert has had to create from within himself an adventure, a torture-chamber, an unsafe and hazardous wilderness- this fool, this prisoner consumed with longing and despair, became the inventor of 'bad conscience'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
An artist chooses his subjects: that is the way he praises.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All great things must first wear terrifying and monstrous masks, in order to inscribe themselves on the hearts of humanity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must repay good and ill but why just to the person who did us good or ill?
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is always consoling to think of suicide: in that way one gets through many a bad night.
Friedrich Nietzsche
“Evil men have no songs.” How is it, then, that the Russians have songs?
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The coward does not know what it means to be alone: an enemy is always standing behind his chair.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Enjoy life. This is not a dress rehearsal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To be natural means to dare to be as immoral as Nature is.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Love matches, so called, have illusion for their father and need for their mother.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The hour when you say, What does my happiness matter? It is poverty and filth, and a wretched complacency. Yet my happiness should justify existence itself!
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself. What is bad? All that is born of weakness. What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
However much we may feel for the misery of someone close to us, we always act with some artificiality in their presence. We hold-back from telling them everything we think, often because we do not genuinely mean what we say or because we take a pleasure in their plight, thankful that we are not affected.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I obviously do everything to be hard to understand myself
Friedrich Nietzsche
