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.
Friedrich Nietzsche

More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche
The unlucky hand dealt to clear and precise writers is that people assume they are superficial and so do not go to any trouble inreading them: and the lucky hand dealt to unclear ones is that the reader does go to some trouble and then attributes the pleasure he experiences in his own zeal to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Few are made for independence, it is the privilege of the strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A noble soul is not the one that can manage the highest flights but the one that rises very little and falls very little but always dwells in a free, resplendent atmosphere and altitude.
Friedrich Nietzsche
A martyr's disciples suffer more than the martyr.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The golden age, when rambunctious spirits were regarded as the source of evil.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Everyone thinks that the principal thing to the tree is the fruit, but in point of fact the principal thing to it is the seed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing--that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
History belongs above all to the man...who needs models, teachers, comforters and cannot find them among his contemporaries.
Friedrich Nietzsche
To produce music is also in a sense to produce children.
Friedrich Nietzsche
All religions bear traces of the fact that they arose during the intellectual immaturity of the human race - before it had learned the obligations to speak the truth. Not one of them makes it the duty of its god to be truthful and understandable in his communications.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I climb upon the highest mountains, laughing at all tragedies - whether real or imaginary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The poison by which the weaker nature is destroyed is strengthening to the strong individual and he does not call it poison.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Willing emancipateth: that is the true doctrine of will and emancipation - so teacheth you Zarathustra. No longer willing, and no longer valuing, and no longer creating! Ah, that that great debility may ever be far from me! And also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating and evolving delight.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us
Friedrich Nietzsche
The perfect woman perpetrates literature as she perpetrates a small sin: as an experiment, in passing, glancing around to see whether anybody notices--and to make sure that somebody notices.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We would not let ourselves be burned to death for our opinions: we are not sure enough of them for that.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The author must keep his mouth shut when his work starts to speak.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Mistrust those in whom the urge to punish is strong.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Subordination to morality can be slavish or vain or self- interested or resigned or gloomily enthusiastic or thoughtless or an act of despair, just as subordination to a prince can be: in itself it is nothing moral.
Friedrich Nietzsche
