Quote

There are no limits to God's compassion with Paradises over their one universally felt want: he immediately created other animals besides. God's first blunder: Man didn't find the animals amusing, - he dominated them and didn't even want to be an 'animal.'

Image
State, I call it, where they all drink poison, the good and the wicked state, where they all lose themselves, the good and the wicked state, where they all call their slow suicide-life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Chastity is a virtue with some, but with many it is almost a vice.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Today I love myself as I love my god: who could charge me with a sin today? I know only sins against my god but who knows my god?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
All preachers of morality, as also all theologians have a bad habit in common: all of them try to persuade man that he is very ill, and that a severe, final, radical cure is necessary.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One who has given up any hope of winning a fight or has clearly lost it wants his style in fighting to be admired all the more.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Do not be deceived! The busiest people harbor the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness--they no longer have the capacity for waiting and idleness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
And if ye cannot be saints of knowledge, then, I pray you, be at least its warriors. They are the companions and forerunners of such saintship.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Man is something that shall be overcome.... Man is a rope, tied between beast and overman -- a rope over an abyss... What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not an end.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We pay dearly for immortality: we die for it more than once during our lifetimes.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is sense in hoping for recognition in a distant future only when we take it for granted that mankind will remain essentially unchanged, and that whatever is great is not for one age only but will be looked upon as great for all time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Yes, life is a woman!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Belief in the truth commences with the doubting of all those truths we once believed.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Illness is a clumsy attempt to arrive at health: we must come to nature's aid with intellect.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When I contemplated purpose I also contemplated chance and foolishness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
In being wildly natural we recover best from being unnatural, from being spiritual.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Oh great star! What would your happiness be if you did not have us to shine for?
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Speaking is a beautiful folly with that man dances over all things.
