More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
One is necessary, one is a piece of fate, one belongs to the whole, one is the whole - there exists nothing which could judge, measure, compare, condemn our being, for that would be to judge, measure, compare, condemn the whole...But nothing exists apart from the whole!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Rash actions are seldom committed in isolation. With the first rash action we always do too much. So we usually go on to commit asecond one--and then we do too little.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This is the crux of the moral pessimists: if they really wanted to promote their neighbor's redemption, then they would have to resolve themselves to spoiling existence for him, and thus to being his misfortune out of pity, they would have to--become evil!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We belong to an age whose culture is in danger of perishing through the means to culture.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
This sign I give you: every people speaks its tongue of good and evil, which the neighbor does not understand. It has invented its own language of customs and rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Joy wants the eternity of all things, wants deep, wants deep eternity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who is not a bird should not build his nest over abysses.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A matter that becomes clear ceases to concern us.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What is the truth, but a lie agreed upon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Good manners disappear in proportion as the influence of a Court and an exclusive aristocracy lessens this decrease can be plainly observed from decade to decade by those who have an eye for public behavior, which grows visibly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Genuine historical knowledge requires nobility of character, a profound understanding of human existence - not detachment and objectivity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Liberal institutions straightway cease being liberal the moment they are soundly established: Once this is attained, no more grievous and more thorough enemies of freedom exist than liberal institutions.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
When asses are needed.- You will never get the crowd to cry Hosanna until you ride into town on an ass.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What the philosopher is seeking is not truth, but rather the metamorphosis of the world into man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The surest sign that two people no longer speak the same language is that both say ironic things to one another but that neither senses the irony.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I teach you the Overman. Man is something that shall be overcome. What have you done to overcome him? ... The time has come for man to set himself a goal. The time has come to plant the seed to his highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the free will owes its persistence to this charm alone some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it.
