More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
To be the equal of one's opponent-this is the first condition of an honourable duel.
Friedrich Nietzsche
People are always angry at anyone who chooses very individual standards for his life because of the extraordinary treatment which that man grants to himself, they feel degraded, like ordinary beings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Women are constituted in such a way that all truth (regarding men, love, children, society, the purpose of life) disgusts them, and in such a way that they try to revenge themselves on anyone who opens their eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Moralities and religions are the principal means by which one can make whatever one wishes out of man, provided one possesses a superfluity of creative forces and can assert one's will over long periods of time in the form of legislation and customs.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Art raises its head where creeds relax.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ego, sayest thou, and art proud of that word. But the greater thing - in which thou art unwilling to believe - is thy body with its big sagacity it saith not ego, but doeth it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One is proud to worship when he cannot be an idol.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All philosophy is a form of confession.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics - that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It takes physical courage to indulge in wickedness. The good are too cowardly to do it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One must separate from anything that forces one to repeat No again and again.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The thirst for equality can express itself either as a desire to draw everyone down to one's level, or to raise oneself and everyone else up.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Memory says, 'I did that.' Pride replies, 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If we have our own why of life, we shall get along with almost any how. Man does not strive for pleasure only the Englishman does.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The abdomen is the reason why man does not readily take himself to be a god.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I love him who laboureth and inventeth, that he may build the house for the Superman, and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant: for thus seeketh he his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage marks the end of many short follies - being one long stupidity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Very early in my life I took the question of the relation of art to truth seriously: even now I stand in holy dread in the face of this discordance. My first book was devoted to it. The Birth of Tragedy believes in art on the background of another belief
