By means of music the very passions, enjoy themselves.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
The criminal type is the type of the strong human being under unfavorable circumstances: a strong human being made sick.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
I fly in dreams, I know it is my privilege, I do not recall a single situation in dreams when I was unable to fly. To execute every sort of curve and angle with a light impulse, a flying mathematics - that is so distinct a happiness that it has permanently suffused my basic sense of happiness.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
He who denies himself much in great matters will readily indulge himself in small things.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
And if ye cannot be saints of knowledge, then, I pray you, be at least its warriors. They are the companions and forerunners of such saintship.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
However modest one may be in one's demand for intellectual cleanliness, one cannot help feeling, when coming into contact with the New Testament, a kind of inexpressible discomfiture: for the unchecked impudence with which the least qualified want to raise their voice on the greatest problems, and even claim to be judges of such things, surpasses all measure. The shameless levity with which the most intractable problems (life, world, God, purpose of life) are spoken of, as if they were not problems at all but simply things that these little bigots knew!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Yes, life is a woman!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Life is at an end where the kingdom of God begins.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Those who cannot forgive others break the bridge over which they themselves must pass.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
When one has a great deal to put into it a day has a hundred pockets.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Could one count such dilettantes and old spinsters as that mawkish apostle of virginity, Mainlander, as a genuine German? In the last analysis he probably was a Jew (all Jews become mawkish when they moralize).
Friedrich Nietzsche -
It is possible to imagine a society flushed with such a sense of power that it could afford to let its offenders go unpunished.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. God is such an obvious and crass solution; a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom He is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
The tragedy is that we cannot believe the dogmas of religion and metaphysics if we have the strict methods of truth in heart and head, but on the other hand, we have become through the development of humanity so tenderly suffering that we need the highest kind of means of salvation and consolation: whence arises the danger that man may bleed to death through the truth that he realises.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Men inadvertently comport themselves with nobility when they have grown accustomed to wanting nothing from others and always giving to them.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
I wish to be at any time hereafter only a yea-sayer!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Was that life? Well then, once more!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
What do you believe in?--In this, that the weights of all things must be determined anew.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
One does not hate so long as one continues to rate low, but only when one has come to rate equal or higher.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Those who are bent on revolutionizing society may be divided into those who seek something for themselves thereby and those who seek something for their children and grandchildren.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
A man far oftener appears to have a decided character from persistently following his temperament than from persistently following his principles.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
All rejection and negation indicates a deficiency in fertility: fundamentally, if only we were good plowland we would allow nothing to go unused, and in every thing, event, and person we would welcome manure, rain, or sunshine.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Eins ist not. - Seinem Charakter 'Stil geben'.
Friedrich Nietzsche
