One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
The wisest man would be the one richest in contradictions, who has, as it were, antennae for all types of men---as well as his great moments of grand harmony---a rare accident even in us! A sort of planetary motion---
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Never to read another book that was born and baptized (with ink) at the same time.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What we do in dreams we also do when we are awake: we invent and fabricate the person with whom we associate - and immediately forget we have done so.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
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
Image
Convictions are more dangerous foes of truth than lies.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence he observes closely, and he enjoys his observation: for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
How I understand the philosopher - as a terrible explosive, endangering everthing... my concept of the philosopher is worlds removed from any concept that would include even a Kant, not to speak of academic ruminants and other professors of philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The good displeases us when we are not up to it.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
We labour at our daily work more ardently and thoughtlessly than is necessary to sustain our life because it is even more necessary not to have leisure to stop and think. Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Faith actually moves no mountains, but instead raises them up where there were none before.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What was silent in the father speaks in the son, and often I found in the son the unveiled secret of the father.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
However un-Christian this may sound, I am not even predisposed against myself.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One has to know the size of one's stomach.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.
