More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
For let us not underestimate the Christian: the Christian, false to the point of innocence, is far above the ape-regarding Christians, a well known theory of descent becomes a mere compliment.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man wishes woman to be peaceable, but in fact she is essentially warlike, like the cat.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most unequivocal sign of contempt for man is to regard everybody merely as a means to one's own ends, or of no account whatever.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Higher than thou shalt stands I will (the heroes), and higher than I will stands I am (the Greek gods).
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

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
We take a fancy to something: and scarcely have we thoroughly taken a fancy to it when that tyrant in us calls out: Give me thatin sacrifice--and we give it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The bite of conscience is indecent.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are more idols than realities in the world: that is my evil eye for this world, which is also my evil ear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those with certain temperaments find no way to endure themselves except by striving towards going under.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God remains dead. And we have killed him. Yet his shadow still looms. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Error has made man so deep, sensitive, and inventive that he has put forth such blossoms as religions and arts. Pure knowledge could not have been capable of it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Is it not better to fall into the hands of a murderer, than into the dreams of a lustful woman?
Friedrich Nietzsche
At the very moment when someone is beginning to take philosophy seriously, the whole world believes the opposite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
From people who merely pray we must become people who bless.
Friedrich Nietzsche
