Everything matters. Nothing's important.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
The future influences the present just as much as the past.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Sensuality often makes love grow too quickly, so that the root remains weak and is easy to pull out.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
To see others suffer does one good, to make others suffer even more: this is a hard saying but an ancient, mighty, human, all-too-human principle [....] Without cruelty there is no festival.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Every true faith is infallible. It performs what the believing person hopes to find in it. But it does not offer the least support for the establishing of an objective truth. Here the ways of men divide. If you want to achieve peace of mind and happiness, have faith. If you want to be a disciple of truth, then search.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
One is punished best for one's virtues.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
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 -
This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.

Friedrich Nietzsche -
Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
All I need is a sheet of paper and something to write with, and then I can turn the world upside down.

At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.

Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man - the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
There will always be rocks in the road ahead of us. They will be stumbling blocks or stepping stones; it all depends on how you use them.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
He who recites dramatic works makes discoveries about his own character.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Der Mensch strebt nicht nach Glück; nur der Engländer thut das
Friedrich Nietzsche -
There is only a perspective seeing, only a perspective 'knowing'; and the more affects we allow to speak about one thing, the more eyes, different eyes, we can use to observe one thing, the more complete will our 'concept' of this thing, our 'objectivity,' be.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Man makes god in his own image.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon drop off.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
You're going to women? Don't forget your whip!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
It is difficult to preach, this morality of mediocrity! It may never admit what it is and what it wants! It must speak about restraint and worth and duty and love of one's neighbor.
Friedrich Nietzsche
