"Physiologists should think before putting down the..." - Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

“Where do your greatest dangers lie?--In pity.”

“Pathetic attitudes are not in keeping with greatness.”

“Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.”

“We do not by any means think it desirable that the kingdom of righteousness and peace should be established on earth (because under any circumstances it would be the kingdom of the profoundest mediocrity and Chinaism); we rejoice in all men, who like ourselves love danger, war and adventure, who do not make compromises, nor let themselves be captured, conciliated and stunted; we count ourselves among the conquerors; we ponder over the need of a new order of things, even of a new slavery for every strengthening and elevation of the type "man" also involves a new form of slavery.”

“Our drives are reducible to the will to power. The will to power is the ultimate fact at which we arrive.”

“The noble type of man feels himself to be the determiner of values, he does not need to be approved of, he judges 'what harms me is harmful in itself', he knows himself to be that which in general accords honour to things, he creates values.”

“A thing there was that mattered; a thing, wreathed about with chatter, defaced, obscured in her own life, let drop every day in corruption, lies, chatter. This he had preserved. Death was defiance. Death was an attempt to communicate; people feeling the impossibility of reaching the centre which, mystically, evaded them; closeness drew apart; rapture faded, one was alone. There was an embrace in death.”

“Let us rather run the risk of wearing out than rusting out.”

“Get leave to work In this world,--'tis the best you get at all.”
