Image
A soul which knows that it is loved, but does not itself love, betrays its sediment: its dregs come up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The wheel and the brake have different duties, but also one in common: to hurt one another.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Tolerance is a proof of distrust in one's own ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche

There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
To escape boredom, man works either beyond what his usual needs require, or else he invents play, that is, work that is designed to quiet no need other than that for working in general.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The poison by which the weaker nature is destroyed is strengthening to the strong individual and he does not call it poison.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A man unconsciously imagines that where he is strong, where he feels most thoroughly alive, the element of his freedom must lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche
