Friedrich Nietzsche
Truth, World, Longing
Friedrich Nietzsche “Delphi Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche (Illustrated): Friedrich Nietzsche”, Delphi Classics

Everyone wants to be foremost in this future-and yet death and the stillness of death are the only things certain and common to all in this future! How strange that this sole thing that is certain and common to all, exercises almost no influence on men, and that they are the furthest from regarding themselves as the brotherhood of death! It makes me happy to see that men do not want to think at all of the idea of death!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Fear, Exercise, Men

Nothing seems to me to be rarer today then genuine hypocrisy. I greatly suspect that this plant finds the mild atmosphere of our culture unendurable. Hypocrisy has its place in the ages of strong belief: in which even when one is compelled to exhibit a different belief one does not abandon the belief one already has.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Strong, Hypocrisy, Atmosphere

Friedrich Nietzsche
Creating, Doctrine, Delight
Friedrich Nietzsche (2016). “THUS SPOKE ZARATHUSTRA - A Book for All and None (World Classics Series): Philosophical Novel”, p.91, e-artnow

Through searching out origins, one becomes a crab. The historian looks backwards, and finally he also believes backwards.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Believe, History, Looks
