Friedrich Nietzsche
What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.
You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame; how could you rise anew if you have not first become ashes?
He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed.
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.
Not that you lied to me but that I no longer believe you - that is what has distressed me.
What does not kill me makes me stronger.
He who fights against monsters should see to it that he does not become a monster in the process. And when you stare persistently into an abyss, the abyss also stares into you.
A human being who strives for something great considers everyone he meets on his way either as a means or as a delay and obstacle - or as a temporary resting place.
He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
In Heaven all the interesting people are missing.
The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
Madness is something rare in individuals -- but in groups, parties, peoples, ages it is the rule.
We have art in order not to die of the truth.
Insanity in individuals is something rare -- but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.
