Behind your thoughts and feelings, my brother, there is a mighty lord, an unknown sage- it is called Self; it dwells in your body, it is your body. 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
To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil. Friedrich Nietzsche
I can tell by my own reaction to it that this book is harmful." But let him only wait and perhaps one day he will admit to himself that this same book has done him a great service by bringing out the hidden sickness of his heart and making it visible.— Altered opinions do not alter a man’s character (or do so very little); but they do illuminate individual aspects of the constellation of his personality which with a different constellation of opinions had hitherto remained dark and... Friedrich Nietzsche
Because we have for millenia made moral, aesthetic, religious demands on the world, looked upon it with blind desire, passion or fear, and abandoned ourselves to the bad habits of illogical thinking, this world has gradually become so marvelously variegated, frightful, meaningful, soulful, it has acquired color - but we have been the colorists: it is the human intellect that has made appearances appear and transported its erroneous basic conceptions into things. 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
...wherever the strength of a faith steps decisively into the foreground, we infer a certain weakness in its ability to demonstrate its truth, even the improbability of what it believes. We, too, do not deny that the belief “makes blessed,” but for that very reason we deny that the belief proves something—a strong belief which confers blessedness creates doubts about what it has faith in. It does not ground “truth.” It grounds a certain probability— delusion. 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
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "This woman is beautiful and clever: but how much cleverer she..."
This woman is beautiful and clever: but how much cleverer she would have become if she were not beautiful! 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
A small company is more welcome to me than a bad one: but they must come and go at the right time. So does it accord with good sleep. Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "the voice of beauty speaks softly; it creeps only into the..."
the voice of beauty speaks softly; it creeps only into the most fully awakened souls Friedrich Nietzsche
I go into solitude so as not to drink out of everybody's cistern. When I am among the many I live as the many do, and I do not think I really think. After a time it always seems as if they want to banish my self from myself and rob me of my soul. Friedrich Nietzsche
Knowing one's 'individuality'. - We are too prone to forget that in the eyes of people who are seeing us for the first time we are something quite different from what we consider ourselves to be: usually we are nothing more than a single individual trait which leaps to the eye and determines the whole impression that we make. Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "One thing a man must have: either a naturally light..."
One thing a man must have: either a naturally light disposition or a disposition lightened by art and knowledge. Friedrich Nietzsche
