GOD IS DEAD - Nietzsche
NIETZSCHE IS DEAD - God


The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in
higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


God created woman. And boredom did indeed cease from that moment --
but many other things ceased as well. Woman was God's second mistake.
-- Nietzsche


The only happiness lies in reason; all the rest of the world is dismal.
The highest reason, however, I see in the work of the artist, and he may
experience it as such. Happiness lies in the swiftness of feeling and
thinking: all the rest of the world is slow, gradual and stupid. Whoever
could feel the course of a light ray would be very happy, for it is very
swift. Thinking of oneself gives little happiness. If, however, one feels
much happiness in this, it is because at bottom one is not thinking of
oneself but of one's ideal. This is far, and only the swift shall reach
it and are delighted.
-- Nietzsche


Faith: not *wanting* to know what is true.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


Which is it, is man one of God's blunders or is God one of man's?
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


“I call Christianity the *one* great curse, the *one* great intrinsic
depravity, the *one* great instinct for revenge for which no expedient
is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, *petty* -- I call it
the *one* mortal blemish of mankind.”
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher
esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.
-- Nietzsche


“In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality
at any point.”
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


Whatever occurs from love is always beyond good and evil.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


In heaven all the interesting people are missing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche


The strong individual loves the earth so much he lusts for recurrence. He
can smile in the face of the most terrible thought: meaningless, aimless
existence recurring eternally. The second characteristic of such a man is
that he has the strength to recognise -- and to live with the recognition --
that the world is valueless in itself and that all values are human ones.
He creates himself by fashoning his own values; he has the pride to live
by the values he wills.
-- Nietzsche


If a man has a strong faith he can indulge in the luxury of skepticism.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


He who despises himself nevertheless esteems himself as a self-despiser.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal
oneself.

-- Friedrich Nietzsche


What does not destroy me, makes me stronger.
-- Nietzsche


He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

-- F. Nietzsche


If a man has a strong faith he can indulge in the luxury of skepticism.
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


No small art is it to sleep: it is necessary for that purpose to keep
awake all day.
-- Nietzsche


“Who alone has reason to *lie himself out* of actuality? He who *suffers*
from it.”
-- Friedrich Nietzsche


'Faith' means not _wanting_ to know what is true.
-- Nietzsche, Der Antichrist


Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.
-- Nietzsche


Talking much about oneself can also be a means to conceal oneself.

-- Friedrich Nietzsche


A woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure,
it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy.
-- Nietzsche


The better the state is established, the fainter is humanity.
To make the individual uncomfortable, that is my task.
-- Nietzsche


One should die proudly when it is no longer possible to live
proudly.

-- F. Nietzsche


What upsets me is not that you lied to me, but that from now on I can no
longer believe you.
-- Nietzsche


When a hundred men stand together, each
of them loses his mind and gets another one.

-- Friedrich Nietzsche


What does not destroy me,
makes me strong.

-- Friedrich Nietzsche
