The golden fleece of self-sufficiency guards against cudgel- blows but not against pin-pricks.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Modern science has as its obj...

Modern science has as its object as little pain as possible, as long a life as possible - hence a sort of eternal blessedness, but of a very limited kind in comparison with the promises of religion.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

One does not want to be decei...

One does not want to be deceived, under the supposition that it is injurious, dangerous, or fatal to be deceived.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

All philosophers make the com...

All philosophers make the common mistake of taking contemporary man as their starting point and of trying, through an analysis of him, to[21] reach a conclusion. "Man" involuntarily presents himself to them as an aeterna veritas as a passive element in every hurly-burly, as a fixed standard of things. Yet everything uttered by the philosopher on the subject of man is, in the last resort, nothing more than a piece of testimony concerning man during a very limited period of time.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

In architecture the pride of man, his triumph over gravitation, his will to power, assume a visible form. Architecture is a sort of oratory of power by means of forms.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

How little is required for pleasure! The sound of a bagpipe - without music, life would be an error.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

The Devil has the broadest perspectives for God; therefore, he keeps so far away from God -- the Devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom

The grand style arises when beauty wins a victory over the monstrous.

One must not let oneself be misled: they say 'Judge not!' but they send to Hell everything that stands in their way.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Where the good begins.- Where...

Where the good begins.- Where the poor power of the eye can no longer see the evil impulse as such because it has become too subtle, man posits the realm of goodness; and the feeling that we have now entered the realm of goodness excites all those impulses which had been threatened and limited by the evil impulses, like the feeling of security, of comfort, of benevolence. Hence, the duller the eye, the more extensive the good. Hence the eternal cheerfulness of the common people and of children. Hence the gloominess and grief - akin to a bad conscience - of the great thinkers.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

The most spiritual human beings, assuming they are the most courageous, also experience by far the most painful tragedies: but it is precisely for this reason that they honor life, because it brings against them its most formidable weapons.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

A light has dawned for me: I ...

A light has dawned for me: I need companions, living ones, not dead companions and corpses which I carry with me wherever I wish. But I need living companions who follow me because they want to follow themselves- and who want to go where I want to go.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

truths are illusions of which one has forgotten that they are illusions, metaphors that have become worn-out and deprived of their sensuous force, coins that have lost their imprint and are now no longer seen as coins but as metal.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Speaking generally, punishmen...

Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Partial knowledge is more tri...

Partial knowledge is more triumphant than complete knowledge; it takes things to be simpler than they are, and so makes its theory more popular and convincing.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

We are, indeed, not among the...

We are, indeed, not among the least contented. You, however, if your belief makes you blessed then appear to be blessed! Your faces have always been more injurious to your belief than our objections have! If these glad tidings of your Bible were written on your faces, you would not need to insist so obstinately on the authority of that book ... As things are, however, all your apologies for Christianity have their roots in your lack of Christianity; with your defense plea you inscribe your own bill of indictment.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Man's maturity: to have regained the seriousness that he had as a child at play.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Historical refutation as the ...

Historical refutation as the definitive refutation.- In former times, one sought to prove that there is no God - today one indicates how the belief that there is a God arose and how this belief acquired its weight and importance: a counter-proof that there is no God thereby becomes superfluous.- When in former times one had refuted the 'proofs of the existence of God' put forward, there always remained the doubt whether better proofs might not be adduced than those just refuted: in those days atheists did not know how to make a clean sweep.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

The finest and healthiest thing about science is, as in the mountains, the brisk air blowing around in it.--The spiritually delicate (such as artists) shun and slander science owing to this air.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

I love him who chasteneth his God, because he loveth his God: for he must succumb through the wrath of his God.
