The Hour-Hand of Life --- Life consists of rare, isolated moments of the greatest significance, and of innumerably many intervals, during which at best the silhouettes of those moments hover about us. Love, springtime, every beautiful melody, mountains, the moon, the sea? all these speak completely to the heart but once, if in fact they ever do get a chance to speak completely. For many men do not have those moments at all, and are themselves intervals and intermissions in the symphony of... Friedrich Nietzsche
My dear friend, what is this our life? A boat that swims in the sea, and all one knows for certain about it is that one day it will capsize. Here we are, two good old boats that have been faithful neighbors, and above all your hand has done its best to keep me from "capsizing"! Let us then continue our voyage—each for the other's sake, for a long time yet, a long time! We should miss each other so much! Tolerably calm seas and good winds and above all sun—what I wish for myself, I wish for... Friedrich Nietzsche

The best friend will probably acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is founded on the talent for friendship. Friedrich Nietzsche
When one is young, one venerates and despises without that art of nuances which constitutes the best gain of life, and it is only fair that one has to pay dearly for having assaulted men and things in this manner with Yes and No. Everything is arranged so that the worst of tastes, the taste for the unconditional, should be cruelly fooled and abused until a man learns to put a little art into his feelings and rather to risk trying even what is artificial? as the real artists of life do. Friedrich Nietzsche

The great epochs of life come when we gain the courage to re-christen our evil as what is best in us Friedrich Nietzsche
And he will also find the little god whom girls like best: beside the well he lies, still, with his eyes shut. Verily, in bright daylight he fell asleep, the sluggard! Did he chase after the butterflies too much?... He may cry and weep - but he is laughable even when he weeps. And with tears in his eyes he shall ask you for a dance and I myself will sing a song for his dance: a dancing and mocking song on the spirit of gravity... (p.108 - The Dancing Song) Friedrich Nietzsche
[I]n nooks all over the earth sit men who are waiting, scarcely knowing in what way they are waiting, much less that they are waiting in vain. Occasionally the call that awakens– that accident which gives the “permission to act — comes too late, when the best youth and strength for action has already been used up by sitting still; and many have found to their horror when they ‘leaped up’ that their limbs had gone to sleep and their spirit had become to heavy. ‘It is too late,’ they said to... Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone..."
Perhaps I know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter. Friedrich Nietzsche
Perhaps I am even envious of Stendhal? He robbed me of the best atheist joke which precisely I could have made: 'God's only excuse is that he does not exist'...I myself have said somewhere: what hitherto been the greatest objection to existence? God... Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "If thinking is your fate, revere this fate with divine honour..."
If thinking is your fate, revere this fate with divine honour and sacrifice to it the best, the most beloved Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Worldly Wisdom. Do not stay in the field! Nor climb out of..."
Worldly Wisdom. Do not stay in the field! Nor climb out of sight. The best view of the world. Is from a medium height. Friedrich Nietzsche
There is more wisdom in your body than in your best wisdom. And who then knows why your body needs precisely your best wisdom? Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom."
There is more reason in your body than in your best wisdom. Friedrich Nietzsche

Be careful, lest in casting out your demon you exorcise the best thing in you. Friedrich Nietzsche
