Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900) quotes

After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.
Anyone who has declared someone else to be an idiot, a bad apple, is annoyed when it turns out in the end that he isn't.
Faith: not wanting to know what is true.
Fear is the mother of morality.
Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man.
Nothing has been purchased more dearly than the little bit of reason and sense of freedom which now constitutes our pride.
One ought to hold on to one's heart; for if one lets it go, one soon loses control of the head too.
One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live proudly
Perhaps I know why it is man alone who laughs: He alone suffers so deeply that he had to invent laughter.
Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.
Talking much about oneself can also be a means to concel oneself.
That which does not kill us makes us stronger.
When one has not had a good father, one must create one.
When you look into an abyss, the abyss also looks into you.
