Friedrich Nietzsche was not a professional philosopher - rather, a thinker, poet, philologist. There was practically no logic in his approach - there was only the passion of real creativity.
Nietzsche never called for pushing the weak; moreover, the theory of the superman did not imply the triumph of some over others, but the victory of the creative principle over the destructive, animal one. In fact, Nietzsche completely denied aggression. In his view, a person could only overcome himself.
website shares the thinker's views on life and publishes 25 quotes that are still relevant today.
- What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
- God is dead: now we want the superman to live.
- He who fights monsters must be careful not to become a monster himself. And if you look into the abyss for a long time, then the abyss also looks into you.
- If you decide to act, close the door to doubt.
- And if you no longer have a single ladder, you must learn to climb on your own head: how else would you want to climb higher?
- Death is close enough that there is no need to fear life.
- Talking a lot about yourself is also a way to hide yourself.
- The greatest events are not our noisiest hours, but our quietest hours.
- What is done for the sake of love occurs outside the realm of good and evil.
- There are two ways to free you from suffering: quick death and lasting love.
- The freer and stronger the individual, the more demanding his love becomes.
- It is not through mutual love that the misfortune of unrequited love ends, but through greater love.
- A real man wants two things: danger and games. And therefore he is looking for a woman as the most dangerous toy.
- A man's happiness is called: I want. A woman's happiness is called: he wants it.
- “Love your neighbor” means first of all: “Leave your neighbor alone!” “And it is precisely this detail of virtue that is associated with the greatest difficulties.
- Even God has his own hell - this is his love for people.
- Whoever wants to justify existence must also be able to be God’s advocate before the devil.
- There is a degree of inveterate deceit that is called “clear conscience.”
- What's good? Everything that increases the sense of power, the will to power, power in a person. What's wrong? Everything that comes from weakness.
- What falls, you still need to push.
- The same thing happens to a person as to a tree. The more he strives upward, towards the light, the deeper his roots dig into the ground, downwards, into darkness and depth - towards evil.
- Man is a rope stretched between an animal and a superman - a rope over an abyss. What is valuable about a person is that he is a bridge, not a goal.
- Being ashamed of your immorality is the first step of the ladder, at the top of which you will be ashamed of your morality.
Friedrich Nietzsche
German Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
German thinker, classical philologist, composer, poet, creator of an original philosophical doctrine, which is emphatically non-academic in nature and has a wide distribution that goes far beyond the scientific and philosophical community
actors
The actor has spirit, but little conscience of spirit. He always believes in what he makes others believe in - he believes in himself!
asceticism
Knowledge is one of the forms of asceticism.
God
If gods existed, how could I bear that I am not a god?
All gods are symbols and intricacies of poets!
God is a kind of assumption.
marriage
Marriage is the most abused form of sexual life.
To grow not only in breadth, but also to grow upward - may the garden of marriage help you in this, my brothers!
A good marriage rests on the talent for friendship.
I have always noticed that spouses who make up a bad couple are the most vindictive: they are ready to take revenge on the whole world because they can no longer separate.
You are entering into a marriage: be careful that it does not become a conclusion for you! You are in too much of a hurry to get married, and this is the consequence - dissolution of the marriage bond!
Marriage may seem just right for people who are incapable of either love or friendship and who willingly try to mislead themselves and others about this deficiency - who, having no experience of either love or friendship, cannot be disappointed and the marriage itself.
Marriage: this is what I call the will of two to create one, greater than those who created it. Marriage is mutual respect and honoring of this will.
faith
You were not yet looking for yourself when you found me. This happens to all believers; and that is why all faith means so little.
Look at the believers! Who do they hate the most? He breaks the tablets of their values, destroys and transgresses, but he is a creator.
eternity
Every moment being begins; Around each “here” there rotates a ring-shaped “there”. The middle is everywhere. The path of eternity is crooked.
power
The love of power is the demon of people. Give them everything - health, food, housing, education - and they will be unhappy, capricious, because the demon waits, waits and wants satisfaction. Take everything away from them and satisfy their demon - they will be happy.
time
Whoever is attacked by his time is not yet sufficiently ahead of it - or behind him.
Since time is infinite, infinity has already passed up to the present moment, that is, every possible development should have already taken place. Therefore, the observed development must be a repetition.
virtue
Those who love and create are who have always been the creators of good and evil. The fire of love and anger burns on the name day of all virtues.
When you have risen above praise and blame and your will desires to command all things as the will of a lover, then your virtue arises. When you despise a soft bed and everything pleasant, yet easily fall asleep even next to the luxurious beds of sissies: then your virtue arises.
As soon as we transgress the average measure of human kindness by one step, our actions cause distrust. Virtue rests precisely “in the middle.”
“Love your neighbor” means first of all: “Leave your neighbor alone!” And it is precisely this detail of virtue that is associated with the greatest difficulties.
Friend
If you are a slave, you cannot be a friend. If you are a tyrant, you cannot have friends.
Do not try to embellish yourself for your friend: for you must be for him an arrow and a striving for the Superman.
Have you become clean air, bread and medicine for your friend? Another is unable to free himself from his own chains, but he saves his friend.
But if you have a suffering friend, become a place of rest for his suffering, but at the same time a hard bed, a camp bed: this is how you can best help him.
soul
Even the broadest soul, my brothers, what pitiful lands this is!
women
Woman is God's second mistake.
A woman knows little about honor. Let it be her honor to always love more than they love her, and never be second in love.
A woman understands children better than a man, but there is more childishness in a man than in a woman.
Who does a woman hate the most? The iron said to the magnet: “What I hate most of all is that you attract without having enough strength to drag with you.”
A man should beware of a woman when she loves: for then she is ready for any sacrifice, and everything else has no value in her eyes.
A man should beware of a woman when she hates: for in the depths of his soul he is only angry, but she is filthy.
Let a woman be a toy, pure and graceful, like a precious stone, shining with the virtues of a world not yet created.
For too long a slave and a tyrant have been hidden in a woman. Therefore, she is incapable of friendship: she knows only love.
In a woman's conscious love there is suddenness, lightning, and darkness next to the light.
life
Good and evil, rich and poor, high and low, and all the names of values - all this will become a weapon and will militantly assert that life must overcome itself again and again!
Some people fail in life: a poisonous worm gnaws at their heart. May they use all their strength to make death a better success for them!
Life is a source of joy; but wherever the crowd drinks, the springs are poisoned.
But if life needs height so much, then it also needs steps, as well as the contradiction of the steps and those ascending them! Life wants to ascend and, ascending, to overcome itself.
The one who answered the question: “Why live?” - will be able to tolerate almost any answer to the question: “How to live?”
And you, my friends, say that there is no dispute about tastes? But all life is a dispute about tastes!
evil
And if a friend does you harm, say this: “I forgive you for what you did to me; but how can you forgive the evil that you have caused yourself by this act?”
I don’t understand why engage in slander. If you want to annoy someone, it’s enough to tell some truth about him.
knowledge
Truly, like the sun, I love life and all the deep seas. And this is what I call knowledge: so that everything deep rises to my height!
ideas
Oh, how many great ideas whose action is like a blacksmith's bellows: from them a person inflates and becomes even more empty.
inventors
The world revolves not around those who invent new noise, but around the inventors of new values; it rotates silently.
art
Art makes life bearable by shrouding it in the haze of impure thinking.
true
Ten times a day you must find the truth, otherwise you will seek it at night, and your soul will remain hungry.
The knower is reluctant to plunge into the water of truth, not when it is dirty, but when it is shallow.
Any truth that is kept silent becomes poisonous.
books
It is not at all so easy to find a book that has taught us as much as a book written by ourselves.
beauty
culture
Culture is just a thin apple peel over the hot chaos.
lie
We know very little and study poorly: that is why we must lie.
Love
Even the cup of the highest love contains bitterness.
Love your neighbors as yourself - but first become those who love themselves - loves with great love, loves with great contempt!
To love and perish: this combination is eternal. The will to love means readiness to die.
We must learn to love ourselves - with a healthy and holy love, in order to remain true to ourselves and not lose ourselves. And truly, this is not a commandment for today and tomorrow - to learn to love yourself. On the contrary, of all the arts it is the most subtle, the wisest, the highest and requires the greatest patience.
Many brief madnesses - that's what you call love. And your marriage puts an end to many short madness - one big and long stupidity.
Therefore, I want them to sincerely say to each other: “We love each other; Let's see if we continue to love! Or is our promise wrong? Give us time and a short union to see if we are fit for a true union! It’s a great thing to always be together!”
Where you can no longer love, you must pass by!
Squalor in love is willingly masked by the absence of someone worthy of love.
My brothers, I urge you to love those who are far away and not those who are near.
Those who have hitherto loved a man most have always caused him the greatest pain; like all lovers, they demanded the impossible from him.
Every great love does not desire love, it desires more.
Great love is higher than suffering, for what it loves, it still longs to create!
People
There are giving natures and there are rewarding ones.
People who strive for greatness are, as usual, evil people: this is their only way of enduring themselves.
People who are distrustful of themselves want to be loved more than to love, so that one day, at least for a moment, they will be able to believe in themselves.
Superficial people must always lie because they have no substance.
Eleven-twelfths of all the great men of history were only representatives of some great cause.
Let people strive towards the future with thousands of bridges and paths, and let enmity and inequality grow more and more between them: this is what my great love inspires in me. Let them invent ghostly images and symbols in their enmity, and then the greatest battle will take place between them.
I walk among them and keep my eyes open: people have become smaller and smaller. And the reason for this is their teaching about happiness and virtue. They are moderate in virtue and want comfort. And only moderate virtue is compatible with comfort.
In the world, the best things still mean nothing until there is someone who will present them on the stage: the crowd of these presenters calls them great people.
Most people are too stupid to be selfish.
revenge
May man be freed from revenge: here is the bridge leading to the highest hope, and the rainbow sky after a long storm.
dreams
You are young and dream of a child and marriage. But answer me: are you such that you have the right to desire a child?... Have you overcome yourself, are you the master of your feelings, are you the master of your virtues?... Or is it the animal and the need of your nature that speaks in your desire? Or loneliness? Or dissatisfaction with yourself?
morality
When the good moralize, they cause disgust; When the wicked moralize, they cause fear.
Morality is the importance of man over nature.
wisdom
The danger of the wise is that he is most susceptible to the temptation to fall in love with the foolish.
You all served the people and popular superstition, you illustrious sages! - and not the truth!
men
In a real man there is always hidden a child who wants to play. Find a child in him, a woman!
music
God gave us music so that we would first of all be drawn upward by it.
peoples
Even when the people are moving backwards, they are chasing the ideal - and they always believe in some kind of “forward”.
No people could survive without making an assessment of what is good and what is evil; in order to survive, he must evaluate differently than his neighbor. Much that is called good by one people is considered shame and reproach by another... Much of what is called evil here was clothed in the purple of honor there.
science
This fear, ancient and primordial, finally becoming refined and spiritualized, is now, it seems to me, called science.
hatred
It is not what prevents us from being loved, but what prevents us from loving fully that we hate most.
And most of all they hate the one who can fly.
misfortune
Misfortune has escaped you; Enjoy this as your own happiness!
There is no more cruel misfortune in human destiny than when the rulers of the earth are not the first among their subjects. And then everything becomes false, perverse, terrifying.
about myself
I walk among the people and keep my eyes open: people do not forgive me for the fact that I do not envy their virtues.
society
Human society is an attempt, a long quest; It is looking for the one who commands!
loneliness
For one, loneliness is the escape of the sick, and for the other, it is an escape from the sick.
present
Be indifferent when accepting anything! Show honor by accepting, that’s what I advise those who have nothing to give.
humility
Submission has the toughest skin.
actions
You will rarely make a mistake if you attribute exceptional actions to vanity, mediocre actions to habit, and minor actions to fear.
Every action continues to build us, it weaves our colorful robe. Every action is free, but clothing is necessary. Our experience is our clothing.
Truth
With the help of the truth, you can deceive and take you anywhere.
I don’t understand why engage in slander. If you want to annoy someone, you just need to tell some truth about him.
right
There is a right by which we can take away a person's life, but there is no right by which we can take away his death.
joy
The best way to start the day well is to wake up and think if you can bring joy to at least one person today.
Since people existed, man has rejoiced too little: only this, my brothers, is our original sin! And if we learn to rejoice more, then we will best forget how to offend others and invent all kinds of sorrows.
conversations
You should only talk about women with men.
intelligence
Whenever prudence says, “Don’t do this, it will be misinterpreted,” I always act contrary to it.
jealousy
Jealousy is the wittiest passion and yet still the greatest stupidity.
religion
As soon as a religion gains dominance, all those who were its first followers become its opponents.
The believer finds his natural enemy not in the free thinker, but in the religious man.
glory
Anyone thirsting for fame must part with honor in advance and master the difficult art of leaving on time.
death
Even in death, your spirit and virtue must glow, like the evening dawn over the earth: otherwise your death did not work out well for you.
Many die too late, and others die too early. The teaching: “Die on time!” will still seem strange.
Death is close enough that there is no need to fear life.
conscience
The desire for the herd is older than the attraction of one’s own “I”: and while a good conscience means the will of the herd, only a bad conscience will say “I”.
This is the advice I give to kings, and churches, and to everything that has become decrepit from the weight of years and weakened in virtue: let yourself be overthrown! And you will return to life again, and virtue will return to you!
passion
Voluptuousness: it is innocent and free for free hearts, a garden of happiness on earth, a festive abundance and a gift of the future from its abundance.
Voluptuousness: this is a sweet poison only for the withered, but for those who have the will of a lion, this is a great heartfelt reinforcement, the wine of all wines, reverently preserved.
Voluptuousness: this is the greatest bliss, a symbol of the highest happiness and the highest hope.
happiness
My brother, if happiness accompanies you, then you have only one virtue, and no more: then it will be easier for you to cross the bridge.
There is much more happiness in the world than the eyes clouded with sadness see, if you only count correctly and do not forget those pleasant moments that every day of human life is rich in, no matter how hard it may be.
A man’s happiness is called “I want.” A woman’s happiness is “He wants.”
Every little happiness should be used like a sick bed: for recovery - and nothing else.
And at dawn Zarathustra laughed in his heart and said mockingly: “Happiness is running after me. This is because I don't chase women. And happiness is a woman.”
vanity
The man of “modern ideas”, this proud monkey, is terribly dissatisfied with himself - this is undeniable. He suffers, and his vanity only wants him to “suffer with him.”
doctrine
Whoever wants to learn to fly must first learn to stand, and walk, and run, and climb, and dance: you cannot learn to fly right away!
The best must rule, and the best wants to rule! And where the teaching says otherwise, there are not enough better ones.
Only for creation you must study!
character
Wanting something and achieving it is considered a sign of strong character. But even without wanting something, still achieving it is characteristic of the strongest, who feel themselves to be fate incarnate.
bravery
I love the brave: but it’s not enough to be a slasher, you also need to know who to slash! And often there is more courage in holding back and passing by: and thereby saving yourself for a more worthy enemy!
chastity
To whom Chastity is a burden, one should not advise it: lest it become the path to the underworld, turning into dirt and lust of the soul.
church
Every church is a stone on the grave of the God-Man: it does not want Him to rise again.
Oh, look at these tents that the priests have erected! They call their dens, full of sweet aromas, churches!
cynicism
Cynicism is the only form in which vulgar souls come into contact with what is called sincerity; and the superior man should prick up his ears at every greater and more subtle manifestation of cynicism, and congratulate himself every time a shameless buffoon or a scientific satyr speaks right before him.
Human
A person who has never thought about money, about honor, about acquiring influential connections, about a position - how can he really know people?
A person's demand to be loved is the greatest of all conceits.
Only where the state ends does a person begin - not superfluous, but necessary: there the song of the one who is needed sounds - the one and only.
youth
For some, the heart ages earlier, for others - the mind. Some are old in their youth, but those who are late in their youth remain so for a long time.
on other topics
“Religious man”, “fool”, “genius”, “criminal”, “tyrant” - all these are bad names and particulars that stand for someone unnameable.
Be who you are!
There is not enough love and goodness in the world to be lavished on an imaginary being.
From time immemorial, honest, free minds lived in the desert and by the lords of the desert; and in the cities live famous sages - fattened beasts of burden. Always, like donkeys, they pull the cart of the people. From time immemorial, honest, free minds lived in the desert and by the lords of the desert; and in the cities live famous sages - fattened beasts of burden. Always, like donkeys, they pull the cart of the people.
There is nothing good about herds, even if they run after you.
They say “pleasure” and think about pleasures; they say “feeling” - and think about sensuality; they say “body”, but think about what is lower, the body, - and in this way the trinity of good things was dishonored.
The highest symbols should speak about time and becoming: they should praise everything that is transitory and be a justification for it!
Oh, this false light, this stale air! Here the soul is not allowed to soar to its height! But their Faith commands them this way: “On your knees and up the steps, sinners!”
He believes in a new way tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow - again in a different way. His feelings are swift, like the crowd, and his moods are just as changeable.
Truly, it always draws us upward - into the kingdom of the clouds: we sit our colorful stuffed animals on them and call them gods and Superman.
After Buddha died, for centuries his shadow was shown in one cave - a monstrous, terrible shadow. God is dead: but such is the nature of people that for thousands of years there may still exist caves in which his shadow is shown. - And we - we must also defeat his shadow!
This is how I want to see a man and a woman: him capable of war, her capable of childbearing, but so that both of them can dance - not only with their feet, but also with their heads.
You must burn yourself in your own flame: how else would you want to be renewed without first turning to ashes!
You are young and dream of a child and marriage. But answer me: are you already such as to have the right to desire a child? ...Have you overcome yourself, are you the master of your feelings, the master of your virtues? ... Or does the animal and the need of your nature speak in your desire? Or loneliness? Or dissatisfaction with yourself?
Do you want to be judged by your intentions and not by your actions? But where did you get your plans? From your actions!
What's good? Everything that increases the sense of power, the will to power, power in a person. What's wrong? Everything that comes from weakness.
I laugh at everyone who is unable to laugh at themselves.
It's better to dance poorly than to walk with a limp.
Don't get confused: actors die from lack of praise, real people die from lack of love.
A man’s happiness is called “I want.” A woman’s happiness is “He wants.”
Are you going to women? Don't forget the whip!
The church is a stone on the grave of God.
And most of all they hate the one who can fly.
A woman begins to hate when she stops charming.
If a woman exhibits scientific inclinations, then usually there is something wrong in her reproductive system.
What does a woman care about the truth! Her great art is a lie. Her main concern is illusion and beauty. And it is this art that we love in a woman.
A woman begins to lose shame, she forgets how to be afraid of a man. Thanks to this, a woman degenerates.
No philosopher has ever been right. Including me.
Everything that is done out of love is always done on the other side of good and evil.
You lovers of knowledge! Have you already committed a murder to find out what is in the soul of the murderer?
A person experiences true voluptuousness by raping himself.
To repent means to add a new one to the committed stupidity.
Anyone who is incapable of either love or friendship is most likely to bet on marriage.
I don’t understand why engage in slander. If you want to annoy someone,
It is enough to tell some truth about him.
In a real man there is always hidden a child who wants to play. And that’s why he needs a woman, like the most interesting toy.
Women are deprived of their childhood by constantly fussing with children as their educators.
Marriage is invented for mediocre people who are mediocre both in great love and in great friendship... But also for those rare people who are capable of both love and friendship.
Good deeds are subtle bad deeds, and bad deeds are the same good deeds, but in a rougher form.
Man is a fantastic animal who, in order to exist, must satisfy one need more than any other animal: the belief that his life has meaning.
If spouses did not live together, successful marriages would occur more often.
A person's demand to be loved is the greatest of all conceits.
When a hundred people stand next to each other, everyone loses his mind and gains some other one.
Facts do not exist - there are only interpretations.
Beliefs are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.
The unnecessary is the enemy of the necessary.
It's better to dance awkwardly than to walk with a limp.
Whenever prudence says, “Don’t do this, it will be misinterpreted,” I always act contrary to it.
The one who praises pretends to give credit, but in reality he wants to receive even more.
We praise what we like; that is, we praise our own taste.
When you praise, you always praise yourself; When you scold, you always scold someone else.
People are grateful as much as they are prone to revenge. I pay good for good, and therefore evil for evil.
Isn't life too short to be bored!
Two things can end the torment: a quick death and long-term love.
There is too little love and compassion in the world; it is a pity to waste it thoughtlessly on imaginary creatures.
The love of existence itself is opposed to the desire to live long. Because for love there is a moment and infinity, but not duration.
The one who values freedom and is strong in spirit is more demanding in love.
True, like all representatives of the fair sex, she wants her beloved to lie for her sake; this is required not by her thirst for fame, but by the incredible cruelty of the truth.
A despot and a subordinate coexisted in a woman for a long time, so do not expect friendship from her, she knows only love.
It is demonic to make your loved ones suffer. If this applies to us, then this is the fate of true heroes: cruel coercion. The desire to achieve the opposite applies to the same thing.
Read the continuation of famous aphorisms and quotes on the pages:
For every kilogram of love, take one gram of disgust. – Zu jedem Kilo Liebe nimm ein Gramm Selbstverachtung!
Don’t get confused: actors die from lack of praise, real people die from lack of love.
You need to learn to love, learn to be kind, from childhood - Man mu? lieben lernen, gutig sein lernen, und dies von Jugend auf…

You lovers of knowledge! What have you done so far out of love for knowledge? Have you already committed a theft or murder to find out what is in the soul of a thief and murderer?
“There is already not enough love and goodness in the world so that they can still be lavished on imaginary creatures”;
The demand to love, the biggest claim of all unreasonable... – Die Forderung, geliebt zu werden, ist die gro?te aller Anma?ungen...
Marriage is invented for mediocre people who are mediocre both in great love and in great friendship - therefore, for the majority: but also for those quite rare people who are capable of both love and friendship.
