Youth is an unpleasant period for then it is not possible or not prudent to be productive in any sense whatsoever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whether we immoralists do any harm to virtue?-Just as little as anarchists do to princes. It is only because they have been shot at that they once again sit securely on their thrones. Moral: we must shoot at morals.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Why is it that wellnesses are not as contagious as illnesses--generally speaking, but also especially regarding taste? Or are there epidemics of health?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
It is possible that the production of genius is reserved to a limited period of mankind's history.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
And it is the great noon when man stands at the midpoint of his course between beast and superman and celebrates his way to the evening as his highest hope: for it is the way to a new morning.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man's task is simple. He should cease letting his existence be a thoughtless accident.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who cannot obey himself will be commanded. That is the nature of living creatures.
Friedrich Nietzsche
