As though "the Truth" were such an innocent and incompetent creature as to require protectors!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
There is a lake that one day refused to flow away and threw up a dam at the place where it had before flowed out and since then this lake has always risen higher and higher. Perhaps the very act of renunciation provides us with the strength to bear it ; perhaps man will rise ever higher and higher when he no longer flows out into a God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
I love him whose soul is deep even in the wounding.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
What is bad? All that proceeds from weakness.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
For both parties in a controversy, the most disagreeable way of retaliating is to be vexed and silent; for the aggressor usually regards the silence as a sign of contempt.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Whoever has witnessed another's ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
What makes one heroic? - Going out to meet at the same time one's highest suffering and one's highest hope.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
As an artist one has no home in Europe except in Paris.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
Love is blind, friends close their eyes.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Desire is happiness: satisfaction as happiness is merely the ultimate moment of desire. To be wish and wish alone is happiness, and a new wish over and over again.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
All in all, punishment hardens and renders people more insensible; it concentrates; it increases the feeling of estrangement; it strengthens the power of resistance.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Reason is the cause of our falsification of the evidence of the senses. In so far as the senses show becoming, passing away, change, they do not lie.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
The advantage of a bad memory is that one can enjoy the same good things for the first time several times.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
I want to know whether you are a person devoted to creating or to exchanging in some respect or other: as a creator you belong tothe free, as an exchanger you are their slave and instrument.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
I am not a human being, I am dynamite.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Being human is a complicated gig. So give that ol' dark night of the soul a hug. Howl the eternal yes!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Words are but symbols for the relations of things to one another and to us; nowhere do they touch upon absolute truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful! Distrust all those who talk much of their justice!
Friedrich Nietzsche -
I no longer want to walk on worn soles.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
The elimination of the will altogether and the switching off of the emotions all and sundry, is tantamount to the elimination of reason: intellectual castration.
Friedrich Nietzsche
-
School has no task more important than to teach strict thought, cautious judgment, and logical conclusions, hence it must pay no attention to what hinders these operations, such as religion, for instance.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ugly. His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride - they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.
Friedrich Nietzsche -
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 -
He who does not need to lie is proud of not being a liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche
