Christianity has the rancor of the sick at its very core-the instinct against the healthy, against health. Everything that is well-constructed, proud, gallant and, above all, beautiful gives offense to its ears and eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
The child as a monument to the passion of two people the will to oneness in two.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is the privilege of greatness to confer intense happiness with insignificant gifts.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.
Friedrich Nietzsche
The empty, the one, the unmoved, the full, satiation, wanting nothing--that would be my evil: in short, dreamless sleep.
Friedrich Nietzsche
There are expressions and bulls-eyes of the spirit, there are epigrams, a little handful of words, in which a whole culture, a whole society is suddenly crystallized.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Moral sensibilities are nowadays at such cross-purposes that to one man a morality is proved by its utility, while to another its utility refutes it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
My wisdom has long accumulated like a cloud, it becomes stiller and darker. So does all wisdom which shall one day bear lightnings.
Friedrich Nietzsche
It is very noble hypocrisy not to talk of one's self.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Sometimes it is harder to accede to a thing than it is to see its truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ten truths must you find during the day otherwise will you seek truth during the night, and your soul will have been hungry.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Ye are ugly? Well then, my brethren, take the sublime about you, the mantle of the ugly!
Friedrich Nietzsche
The man who sees little always sees less than there is to see the man who hears badly always hears something more than there is to hear.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings: what is closest appears large and weighty, and as one moves farther away size and weight decrease.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men are cowards when it comes to the eternally feminine: and the little women know it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I see many soldiers could I but see many warriors! Uniform one calleth what they wear may it not be uniform what they therewith hide!
Friedrich Nietzsche
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
He who wills believes with a fair amount of certainty that will and action are somehow one he ascribes the success, the carrying out of the willing, to the will itself, and thereby enjoys an increase of the sensation of power which accompanies all success.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If God had wanted to become an object of love, he would first of all have had to forgo judging and justice : a judge, and even a gracious judge, is no object of love.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Men have hitherto treated women like birds which have strayed down to them from the heights as something more delicate, more fragile, more savage, stranger, sweeter, soulful--but as something which has to be caged up so that it shall not fly away.
Friedrich Nietzsche
