Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes

«Cynicism is the only form in which base souls approach honesty.»
«Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.»
«Does wisdom perhaps appear on the earth as a raven which is inspired by the smell of carrion?»
«To win over certain people to something, it is only necessary to give it a gloss of love of humanity, nobility, gentleness, self-sacrifice -- and there is nothing you cannot get them to swallow.»
«These small things -- nutrition, place, climate, recreation, the whole casuistry of selfishness -- are inconceivably more important than everything one has taken to be important so far.»
«We find nothing easier than being wise, patient, superior. We drip with the oil of forbearance and sympathy, we are absurdly just, we forgive everything. For that very reason we ought to discipline ourselves a little; for that very reason we ought to cultivate a little emotion, a little emotional vice, from time to time. It may be hard for us; and among ourselves we may perhaps laugh at the appearance we thus present. But what of that! We no longer have any other mode of self-overcoming available to us: this is our asceticism, our penance.»
«The doctrine of equality! There exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.»
«Success has always been the worst of liars»
«What is the vanity of the vainest man compared with the vanity which the most modest possesses when, in the midst of nature and the world, he feels himself to be ''man''!»
«Bad cooks -- and the utter lack of reason in the kitchen -- have delayed human development longest and impaired it most.»
