Aphorisms should be peaks - and those who are addressed, tall and lofty. The air thin and pure, danger near, and the spirit full of gay sarcasm: these go well together.

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
It is not in our hands to prevent our birth but we can correct this mistake - for in some cases it is a mistake.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man, full of emptiness and torn apart with homesickness for the desert has had to create from within himself an adventure, a torture-chamber, an unsafe and hazardous wilderness- this fool, this prisoner consumed with longing and despair, became the inventor of 'bad conscience'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A very popular error: having the courage of one's convictions rather it is a matter of having the courage for an attack on one's convictions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Artists may here have a more subtle scent: they know only too well that it is precisely when they cease to act 'voluntarily' and do everything of necessity that their feeling of freedom, subtlety, fullness of power, creative placing, disposing, shaping reaches its height - in short, that necessity and 'freedom of will' are then one in them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I speak and the child plays: who can be more serious than we are?
Friedrich Nietzsche
The most vulnerable and yet most unconquerable of things is human vanity nay, through being wounded its strength increases and can grow to giant proportions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
What is good? ye ask. To be brave is good. Let the little girls say: To be good is what is pretty, and at the same time touching.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Those who are slow to know suppose that slowness is the essence of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits-inasmuch as these two species always exist-occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In Bach there is still too much crude Christianity, crude Germanism, crude scholasticism he stands on the threshold of European (modern) music, but he looks back from there to the Middle Ages.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That grand drama in a hundred acts, which is reserved for the next two centuries of Europe-the most terrible, most questionable and perhaps also the most hopeful of all dramas.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Foolish is my happiness, and foolish things will it speak: it is still too young—so have patience with it!
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who thinks a great deal is not suited to be a party man: he thinks his way through the party and out the other side too soon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
He who recites dramatic works makes discoveries about his own character.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Nobody is more inferior than those who insist on being equal.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Necessity is an interpretation, not a fact.
Friedrich Nietzsche
In order for once to get a glimpse of our European morality from a distance, in order to compare it with other earlier or future moralities, one must do as the traveller who wants to know the height of the towers of a city: he leaves the city.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The coward does not know what it means to be alone: an enemy is always standing behind his chair.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I feel all those human beings to be pernicious who can no longer oppose what they love: they thereby ruin the best things and people.
Friedrich Nietzsche
