For such is man: a Theological Dogma might be refuted to him a thousand times - provided however, that he had need of it, he would again and again accept it as true. Belief is always most desired, most pressingly needed where there is a lack of will. Fanaticism is the sole "volitional strength" to which the weak and irresolute can be excited, as a sort of hypnotising of the entire sensory-intellectual system.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Help thyself: then everyone will help thee too. Principle of Christian charity.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

When one gives up the Christi...

When one gives up the Christian faith, one pulls the right to Christian morality out from under one's feet. This morality is by no means self-evident. Christianity is a system, a whole view of things thought out together. By breaking one main concept out of it, the faith in God, one breaks the whole. It stands or falls with faith in God.

Wisdom sets bounds even to knowledge.

The English are the people of consummate cant.

One loves ultimately one's desires, not the thing desired.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

The love of indulgence is rooted in the depths of a man's heart. His soul would prefer to share the excessive and unrestrained; but his soul cannot love.

A lack of the historical sense is the hereditary fault of all philosophers.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Creation is the great redemption from suffering and all life's growing light. But the creator must be suffering if needed and accept much change.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Nihilism: any aim is lacking,...

Nihilism: any aim is lacking, any answer to the question "why" is lacking. What does nihilism mean?--that the supreme values devaluate themselves.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Every great love brings with ...

Every great love brings with it the cruel idea of killing the object of its love so that it may be removed once and for all from the wicked game of change: for love dreads change even more than annihilation.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful! Distrust all those who talk much of their justice!

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

I presume that you are compassionate: to be without pity means to be sick in body and spirit. But one should have spirit in abundance, so as to be permitted to be compassionate! For your pity is detrimental to you and to everyone.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Free from what? What does that matter to Zarathustra! Clearly, however, shall your eye show to me: free for what?

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Once upon a time, in some out of the way corner of that universe which is dispersed into numberless twinkling solar systems, there was a star upon which clever beasts invented knowing.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

What is good? All that enhanc...

What is good? All that enhances the feeling of power, the Will to Power, and power itself in man. What is bad? — All that proceeds from weakness. What is happiness? — The feeling that power is increasing — that resistance has been overcome.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Let us guard against saying t...

Let us guard against saying that there are laws in nature. There are merely necessities: there is no one who commands, no one whoobeys, no one who transgresses. Once you understand that there are no purposes, then you also understand that nothing is accidental: for it is only in a world of purposes that the word "accident" makes sense.

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

Truth is a mobile army of met...

Truth is a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, anthropomorphisms, in short a sum of human relations which have been subjected to poetic and rhetorical intensification, translation and decoration […]; truths are illusions of which we have forgotten that they are illusions, metaphors which have become worn by frequent use and have lost all sensuous vigour […]. Yet we still do not know where the drive to truth comes from, for so far we have only heard about the obligation to be truthful which society imposes in order to exist" from, "On Truth and Lying in a Non-Moral Sense".

Friedrich Nietzsche 2803 quotes

The desire for a strong faith...

The desire for a strong faith is not the proof of a strong faith, rather the opposite. If one has it one may permit oneself the beautiful luxury of skepticism: one is secure enough, fixed enough for it.

Whatever does not kill me makes me stronger.
