1844-1900, German Philosopher
One has to pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while one is still alive.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Death and Dying]
One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Lies and Lying]
One must learn to love oneself with a wholesome and healthy love, so that one can bear to be with oneself and need not roam.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Egotism]
One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Argument]
One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Emotions]
One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom –such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it –those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature. He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself: he will never get to drink the strongest refreshing draught from his own innermost fountain.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Introspection]
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Death and Dying]
Only sick music makes money today.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Music]
Only the most acute and active animals are capable of boredom. — A theme for a great poet would be God's boredom on the seventh day of creation.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Bores and Boredom]
Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherers of the mind.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Knowledge]
Plato was a bore.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Philosophers and Philosophy]
Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ''ugly.'' His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride — they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Ugliness]
So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Praise]
Success has always been a great liar.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Success]
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Strength]
The ''kingdom of Heaven'' is a condition of the heart –not something that comes ''upon the earth'' or ''after death.''
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Heaven]
The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Memory]
The anarchist and the Christian have a common origin.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Anarchism]
The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of ''eternity''; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book — what everyone else does not say in a book.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Aphorisms and Epigrams]
The architect represents neither a Dionysian nor an Apollinian condition: here it is the mighty act of will, the will which moves mountains, the intoxication of the strong will, which demands artistic expression. The most powerful men have always inspired the architects; the architect has always been influenced by power.
Friedrich Nietzsche – [Architecture]
