More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always occurs beyond good and evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The lie is a condition of life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
God, the immortality of the soul, salvation, the beyond-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Real dancers are the ones who can hear the music in their soul.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Supposing truth is a woman -- what then?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone who enjoys supposes that the tree was concerned with the fruit, but it was really concerned with the seed. -In this lies the difference between all those who create and those who enjoy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
About sacrifice and the offering of sacrifices, sacrificial animals think quite differently from those who look on: but they have never been allowed to have their say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Where do your greatest dangers lie?--In pity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye shall only have foes to be hated but not foes to be despised: ye must be proud of your foes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I want to teach men the sense of their existence, which is the Superman, the lightning out of the dark cloud man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
