Friedrich Nietzsche: Idézetek angolul (oldal 14)

“There is no such thing as moral phenomena, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena”

“Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.”

“Woman was God’s second mistake.”

“In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fair-mindedness, and gentleness with what is strange.”

“What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?”

“I hate you most because you attract, but are not strong enough to pull me to you.”

“Those you cannot teach to fly, teach to fall faster.”

“From which stars have we fallen to meet each other here?”

“I want to learn more and more to see as beautiful what is necessary in things, then I shall be one of those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let that be my love from henceforth!”

“He who despises himself esteems himself as a self-despiser.”

“Your only problem, perhaps, is that you scream without letting yourself cry.”

“But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!”

“Whoever thought that he had understood something of me had merely construed something out of me, after his own image.”

“Untroubled, scornful, outrageous - that is how wisdom wants us to be: she is a woman and never loves anyone but a warrior.”

“Close beside my knowledge lies my black ignorance.”

“One has to take a somewhat bold and dangerous line with this existence: especially as, whatever happens, we are bound to lose it.”

“I love the great despisers because they are the great adorers…”

“To recognize untruth as a condition of life--that certainly means resisting accustomed value feelings in a dangerous way; and a philosophy that risks this would by that token alone place itself beyond good and evil.”

“Every attainment, every step forward in knowledge, follows from courage, from hardness against oneself, from cleanliness in relation to oneself.”
