More quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche

Image
Perhaps no philosopher is more correct than the cynic. The happiness of the animal, that thorough cynic, is the living proof of cynicism.
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
Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
How difficult it is to live when one feels that the judgment of many millenniums is around one and against one.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I want to teach men the sense of their existence, which is the Superman, the lightning out of the dark cloud man.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Human life is inexplicable, and still without meaning: a fool may decide its fate.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Science rushes headlong, without selectivity, without taste, at whatever is knowable, in the blind desire to know all at any cost.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
People live for the morrow, because the day-after-to-morrow is doubtful.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Fear is the mother of morality.
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
I admire the courage and wisdom of Socrates in everything he did, said--and did not say.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Few serve truth in truth because only few have the pure will to be just, and of those again very few have the strength to be just.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Those who are slow to know suppose that slowness is the essence of knowledge.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Every characteristic absence of spirituality, every piece of common vulgarity, is due to an inability to resist a stimulus - you have to react, you follow every impulse.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Whoever regards human beings as a herd and flees them as swiftly as he can will no doubt be overtaken by them and impaled on theirhorns.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Rendering oneself unarmed when one had been the best-armed, out of a height of feeling-that is the means to real peace, which must always rest on a peace of mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
What good is all this free-thinking, modernity, and turncoat flexibility if at some gut level you are still a Christian, a Catholic, and even a priest!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If a man wishes to rid himself of a feeling of unbearable oppression, he may have to take hashish.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
He who thinks a great deal is not suited to be a party man: he thinks his way through the party and out the other side too soon.
Friedrich Nietzsche
