Friedrich Nietzsche
The saying, The Magyar is much too lazy to be bored, is worth thinking about. Only the most subtle and active animals are capable of boredom.--A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
You say a good cause justifies any war but I say a good war justifies any cause.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Many a peacock hides his peacock tail from all eyes--and calls it his pride.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A married philosopher belongs to comedy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The snake that cannot shed its skin perishes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
One has to know the size of one's stomach.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
