I devote myself to what I love the most, and for this very reason I hesitate to designate it with lofty words: I do not want to risk believing that it is a sublime compulsion, a law, which I obey: I love what I love the most too much to wish to appear to it as one compelled.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Love, Believe, Law

Along the journey we commonly forget its goal. Almost every vocation is chosen and entered upon as a means to a purpose but is ultimately continued as a final purpose in itself. Forgetting our objectives is the most frequent stupidity in which we indulge ourselves.

Pity is extolled as the virtue of prostitutes.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Pity, Virtue

O sancta simplicitas! What strange simplification and falsification mankind lives on! One can never cease to marvel once one has acquired eyes for this marvel! How we have made everything around us bright and free and easy and simple! How we have known how to bestow on our senses a passport to everything superficial, on our thoughts a divine desire for wanton gambling and false conclusions! - how we have from the very beginning understood how to retain our ignorance so as to enjoy an almost inconceivable freedom, frivolity, impetuosity, bravery, cheerfulness of life, so as to enjoy life!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Eye, Ignorance, Simple

The Germans are like women, you can scarcely ever fathom their depths - they haven't any.

Friedrich Nietzsche

The question of place and climate is most closely related to the question of nutrition. Nobody is free to live everywhere; and whoever has to solve great problems that challenge all his strength actually has a very restricted choice in this matter. The influence of climate on our metabolism, its retardation, its acceleration, goes so far that a mistaken choice of place and climate can not only estrange a man from his task but can actually keep it from him: he never gets to see it.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Men, Choices, Challenges
Friedrich Nietzsche (2010). “On the Genealogy of Morals and Ecce Homo”, p.240, Vintage

With the unknown, one is confronted with danger, discomfort, and care; the first instinct is to abolish these painful states. First principle: any explanation is better than none. . . . The causal instinct is thus conditional upon, and excited by, the feeling of fear. The "why?" shall, if at all possible, not give the cause for its own sake so much as for a particular kind of cause -- a cause that is comforting, liberating, and relieving.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Giving, Feelings, Comforting
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.307, Penguin

Everything that is profound loves the mask: the profoundest things have a hatred even of figure and likeness.

Profound, Hatred, Mask

He who is dissatisfied with himself is continually ready for revenge and we others will be his victims, if only in having always to endure his ugly sight. For the sight of the ugly makes one bad and gloomy.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Revenge, Sight, Ugly

Inaction, letting be, neither creating nor destroying--that is my evil. And also the knower as one without desire.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Objectivity, Creating, Evil
