The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous — a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Some rule out of a lust for ruling others, so as not to be ruled:Mto these it is merely the lesser of two evils.

To think historically is almost the same thing now as if in all ages history had been made according to theory.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The woman and the genius do not work. Up to now, woman has been mankind's supreme luxury. In all those moments when we do our best, we do not work. Work is merely a means to these moments.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Few serve truth in truth because only few have the pure will to be just, and of those again very few have the strength to be just.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The individual has always to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The enormous expectation having to do with sexual love and the shame involved in this expectation degrades all a woman's perspectives from the start.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When you stare into an abyss for a long time, the abyss also stares into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is regrettable that a Dostoyevsky did not live near this most interesting of all decadents (Jesus Christ) - I mean someone who would have known how to sense the very stirring charm of such a mixture of the sublime, the sickly, and the childlike.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering among innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge.
