Do I advise you to love the neighbor? I suggest rather to escape from the neighbor and to love those who are the farthest away from you. Higher than the love for the neighbor is the love for the man who is distant and has still to come.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Society tames the wolf into a dog. And man is the most domesticated animal of all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.
Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Books for general reading always smell bad the odor of common people hangs around them.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
I love him who scattereth golden words in advance of his deeds, and always doeth more than he promiseth: for he seeketh his own down-going.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
In the mountains, the shortest way is from peak to peak: but for that you must have long legs
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
The hour when you say, What does my happiness matter? It is poverty and filth, and a wretched complacency. Yet my happiness should justify existence itself!
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Both classically- and romantically-minded spirits-inasmuch as these two species always exist-occupy themselves with a vision of the future: but the former do so out of a strength of their age, the latter out of its weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
If Islam despises Christianity, it has a thousandfold right to do so: Islam at least assumes that it is dealing with men.
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.
