Sources(books, films, about-from-ve-de-ni-ya, etc.) with quotes from Friedrich Nietzsche About the author
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (German Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, IPA: [?f?i?d??? ?v?lh?lm ?ni?t??]; October 15, 1844 (18441015), Röcken , Prussia - August 25, 1900, Weimar, Germany) - German philosopher, poet, composer, cultural critic, representative of irrationalism. He sharply criticized the religion, culture and morality of his time and developed his own ethical theory. Nietzsche was a literary rather than an academic philosopher, and his writings are aphoristic in nature. Nietzsche's philosophy had a great influence on the formation of existentialism and postmodernism, and also became very popular in literary and artistic circles. The interpretation of his works is quite difficult and still causes a lot of controversy.
Born in Röcken (near Leipzig, eastern Germany), the son of Lutheran pastor Carl Ludwig Nietzsche (1813-1849). While studying at the gymnasium, he showed significant abilities in philology and music. In 1864-69, Nietzsche studied theology and classical philology at the Universities of Bonn and Leipzig. During the same period, he became acquainted with the works of Schopenhauer and became a fan of his philosophy. Nietzsche's development was also favorably influenced by his friendship with Richard Wagner, which lasted for many years. At the age of 23, he was drafted into the Prussian army and enlisted in the horse artillery, but was demobilized after being injured. Three years later, he would enthusiastically accept the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and volunteer to go to the front.
Nietzsche was a brilliant student and gained an excellent reputation in scientific circles. Thanks to this, he already received the position of professor of classical philology at the University of Basel in 1869 (at the age of only 25 years). He worked there for about 10 years, despite numerous illnesses. The question of Nietzsche's citizenship still causes sharp controversy. According to some sources, he remained stateless after renouncing his Prussian citizenship in 1869; however, other sources state that Nietzsche became a Swiss citizen.
Friedrich Nietzsche is a German philosopher, the author of non-academic teaching. His mental activity is based on clarifying the problems of reality, religion, and morality. His philosophical claims are aimed at destroying stereotypes; they contradict the established point of view. With his statements, the author moves away from rationalism and creates a new, irrational view of life. In our selection you will find statements by Friedrich Nietzsche about life, love, God, and women.
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Culture is just a thin apple peel over the hot chaos.
The best must rule, and the best wants to rule! And where the teaching says otherwise, there are not enough better ones.
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.
When the good moralize, they cause disgust; When the wicked moralize, they cause fear.
Many die too late, and others die too early. The teaching: “Die on time!” will still seem strange.
Interesting facts:
Do many of Nietzsche's sayings seem strange? There is a justification for this. He suffered from epilepsy since childhood; the disease was inherited from his father. In combination with a number of other serious illnesses, epilepsy developed in a severe form, which could not but affect the psyche. The philosopher developed his own picture of the perception of the world. Nietzsche's treatises can partly be called the cry of the soul of a sick person.
To live is to burn yourself and still not burn out.In a peaceful environment, a warlike person attacks himself.
I came to help you, and you complain that I don’t want to cry with you.
I laugh at everyone who is unable to laugh at themselves.
Those who suffer greatly are envied by the devil and expelled to heaven.
It is impossible to be free from what you are running away from.
No winner believes in chance!
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.
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.
“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.

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.
If you decide to act, close the door to doubt. 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.
Don't be afraid of losing someone. You will not lose the one you need in life. Those who were sent to you for experience are lost. Those who remain are those sent to you by fate.
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!

People are not equal. And they should not be equal! What would my love for the Superman be if I spoke differently?
People lie freely with their mouths, but their faces still tell the truth...
Just as there are no fish without bones, there are no people without flaws.
Dostoevsky is the only psychologist from whom I could learn something.
A sure way to make people angry and instill evil thoughts in them is to make them wait a long time.
Very lonely and noise becomes a comfort.
Anyone who is attacked by his time is not yet sufficiently ahead of it - or behind him. Beware of the little people! They feel insignificant in front of you, and their baseness smolders and flares up into invisible revenge.
They don’t plan friendship, they don’t shout about love, they don’t prove the truth.
Marriage is the most abused form of sexual life.
This is interesting:
Nietzsche's irrational theory has its roots, and the denial of the limits of human consciousness is completely justified. The philosopher spent the last 11 years in a madhouse, where he wrote his works. In philosophical treatises, Nietzsche poured out his grievances and regrets and expressed life principles. He admitted that he had an intimate relationship with his sister; later the author’s revelations were published in the book “My Sister and Me.”
Anyone who is incapable of either love or friendship is most likely to bet on marriage.
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: 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.
What is done for the sake of love occurs outside the realm of good and evil.
Love your neighbors as yourself - but first become those who love themselves - loves with great love, loves with great contempt!
There are two ways to free you from suffering: quick death and lasting love.
For too long a slave and a tyrant have been hidden in a woman. Therefore, she is incapable of friendship: she knows only 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.
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 is a danger and a game. That's why he needs a woman, because she is a dangerous toy.
Motherhood is worthy of respect. Father is always just an accident.
Do you know?
During his lifetime, the thinker received virtually no support, but after his death his works became widespread. Few people know that it was Nietzsche’s philosophical thoughts that inspired Hitler to fight for the German Reich.
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.
If you go to a woman, take a whip.In vengeance and love, a woman is more barbaric than a man.
A real man wants two things: danger and play. That is why he needs a woman - as the most dangerous toy.
Science hurts the modesty of all real women. At the same time, they feel as if they were looking under their skin or, even worse, under their dress and attire.
For women themselves, in the depths of their personal vanity there always lies impersonal contempt - contempt “for women.”
A woman learns to hate to the extent that she forgets how to charm. Seduce your neighbor into a good opinion of her and then wholeheartedly believe this opinion of your neighbor - who can compare with women in this trick!
The actor has spirit, but little conscience of spirit. He always believes in what he makes others believe in - he believes in himself!
Knowledge is one of the forms of asceticism.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Even the broadest soul, my brothers, what pitiful lands this is!
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.
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!
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.
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!
Oh, how many great ideas whose action is like a blacksmith's bellows: from them a person inflates and becomes even more empty.

Art makes life bearable by shrouding it in the haze of impure thinking.
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.
It is not at all so easy to find a book that has taught us as much as a book written by ourselves.
culture
Culture is just a thin apple peel over the hot chaos.
We know very little and study poorly: that is why we must lie.
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!
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.
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?

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.
This fear, ancient and primordial, finally becoming refined and spiritualized, is now, it seems to me, called science.
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 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.
Submission has the toughest skin.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You should only talk about women with men.
Whenever prudence says, “Don’t do this, it will be misinterpreted,” I always act contrary to it.
Jealousy is the wittiest passion and yet still the greatest stupidity.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.”
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
