Some palatable bits of Friedrich


A pair of powerful spectacles has sometimes sufficed to cure a person in love.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

“You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.”

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.”

“A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything.”

“We have art in order not to die of the truth.”

“What labels me, negates me.”

“What does your conscience say? — 'You should become the person you are'."

“That which is done out of love is always beyond good and evil.”

“The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night.”


“Without music, life would be a mistake.”


Friedrich Nietzsche, german philosopher, poet, cultural critic and classical philologist (1844-1900)
