Indeed, at hearing the news that 'the old god is dead', we philosophers and 'free spirits' feel illuminated by a new dawn; our heart overflows with gratitude, amazement, forebodings, expectation - finally the horizon seems clear again, even if not bright; finally our ships may set out again, set out to face any danger; every daring of the lover of knowledge is allowed again; the sea, our sea, lies open again; maybe there has never been such an 'open sea'. 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
I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly: since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move. Now I am nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god dances within me. Friedrich Nietzsche
Where has God gone?” [the madman asked] “I shall tell you. We have killed him – you and I. We are his murderers. But how have we done this? How were we able to drink up the seas? Who gave us the sponge to wipe away the entire horizon? What did we do when we unchained the earth from its sun? Whither is it moving now? Whither are we moving now? Away from all suns? Are we not perpetually falling? Backwards, sideward, forward, in all directions? Is there any up or down left? Are we... Friedrich Nietzsche
In truth, nothing could be more opposed to the purely aesthetic interpretation and justification of the world which are taught in this book than the Christian teaching, which is, and wants to be, only moral and which relegates art, every art, to the realm of lies; with its absolute standards, beginning with the truthfulness of God, it negates, judges, and damns art. Friedrich Nietzsche
I would only believe in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity—through him all things fall. Not by wrath does one kill but by laughter. Come, let us kill the spirit of gravity! Friedrich Nietzsche
There is in general good reason to suppose that in several respects the gods could all benefit from instruction by us human beings. We humans are - more humane. Friedrich Nietzsche
2. "HOW COULD anything originate out of its opposite? For example, truth out of error? or the Will to Truth out of the will to deception? or the generous deed out of selfishness? or the pure sun-bright vision of the wise man out of covetousness? Such genesis is impossible; whoever dreams of it is a fool, nay, worse than a fool; things of the highest value must have a different origin, an origin of THEIR own—in this transitory, seductive, illusory, paltry world, in this turmoil of delusion and... Friedrich Nietzsche
To live alone one must be either a beast or a god, says Aristotle. Leaving out the third case: one must be both - a philosopher. Friedrich Nietzsche

It was a subtle refinement of God to learn Greek when he wished to write a book? and that he did not learn it better. Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time."
I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time. Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance."
I would believe only in a God that knows how to Dance. Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "Ah, ye brethren, that God whom I created was human work and..."
Ah, ye brethren, that God whom I created was human work and human madness, like all the Gods! Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "It is a curious thing that God learned Greek when he wished to..."
It is a curious thing that God learned Greek when he wished to turn author--and that he did not learn it better. Friedrich Nietzsche
Reason" in language - oh, what an old deceptive female she is! I am afraid we are not rid of God because we still have faith in grammar. Friedrich Nietzsche
