Be careful when you cast out your demons that you don’t throw away the best of yourself. Friedrich Nietzsche
In some remote conner of the universe, poured out and glittering innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals inventd knowledge. That was the haughtiest and most mandacious minute of the "world history" -- yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die. Friedrich Nietzsche
In some remote corner of the universe, poured out and glittering in innumerable solar systems, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the haughtiest and most mendacious minute of "world history"- yet only a minute. After nature had drawn a few breaths the star grew cold, and the clever animals had to die. Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it..."
The bad gains respect through imitation, the good loses it especially in art. Friedrich Nietzsche
The time is gone when mere accidents could still happen to me; and what could still come to me now that was not mine already? What returns, what finally comes home to me, is my own self and what of myself has long been in strange lands and scattered among all things and accidents. Friedrich Nietzsche
Socrates, the dialectical hero of the Platonic drama, reminds us of the kindred nature of the Euripidean hero who must defend his actions with arguments and counterarguments and in the process often risks the loss of our tragic pity; for who could mistake the optimistic element in the nature of the dialectic, which celebrates a triumph with every conclusion and can breathe only in cool clarity and consciousness. Friedrich Nietzsche
It is certainly not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable; it is precisely thereby that it attracts the more subtle minds. It seems that the hundred-times-refuted theory of the "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it. Friedrich Nietzsche
Books and drafts mean something quite different for different thinkers. One collects in a book the lights he was able to steal and carry home swiftly out of the rays of some insight that suddenly dawned on him, while another thinker offers us nothing but shadows - images in black and grey of what had built up in his soul the day before. Friedrich Nietzsche
The craving for equality can express itself either as a desire to pull everyone down to our own level (by belittling them, excluding them, tripping them up) or as a desire to raise ourselves up along with everyone else (by acknowledging them, helping them, and rejoicing in their success). Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last..."
In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last analysis, even the best woman is bad. 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
As is well known, the priests are the most evil enemies—but why? Because they are the most impotent. It is because of their impotence that in them hatred grows to monstrous and uncanny proportions, to the most spiritual and poisonous kind of hatred. The truly great haters in world history have always been priests; likewise the most ingenious haters: other kinds of spirit hardly come into consideration when compared with the spirit of priestly vengefulness. Friedrich Nietzsche
Passion for power: the terrible teacher of great contempt, whichpreaches to their face to cities and empires: "Away with you!"- until avoice cries out of themselves: "Away with me! Friedrich Nietzsche
Friedrich Nietzsche quote: "My soul is calm and clear, like the mountains in the morning...."
My soul is calm and clear, like the mountains in the morning. But they think I am cold, and a mocker with terrible jests. Friedrich Nietzsche
