Judgments, value judgments concerning life, for or against, can in the last resort never be true: they possess value only as symptoms, they come into consideration only as symptoms - in themselves such judgments are stupidities.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Life, Stupidity, Lasts

From the sun did I learn this, when it goeth down, the exuberant one: gold doth it then pour into the sea, out of inexhaustible riches, -So that the poorest fisherman roweth even with golden oars! For this did I once see, and did not tire of weeping in beholding it. - Like the sun will also Zarathustra go down: now sitteth he here and waiteth, old broken tables around him, and also new tables half-written.

That which an age considers evil is usually an unseasonable echo of what was formerly considered good - the atavism of an old ideal.

The drive toward the formation of metaphors is the fundamental human drive, which one cannot for a single instant dispense with in thought , for one would thereby dispense with man himself.

Philosophers are not honest enough in their work, although they make a lot of virtuous noise when the problem of truthfulness is touched even remotely. They all pose as if they had discovered and reached their real opinions through the self-development of a cold, pure, divinely unconcerned dialectic...; while at bottom it is an assumption, a hunch, indeed a kind of "inspiration" most often a desire of the heart that has been filtered and made abstract that they defend with reasons they have sought after the fact.

I do not know what meaning classical studies could have for our time if they were not untimely that is to say, acting counter to our time and thereby acting on our time and, let us hope, for the benefit of a time to come.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Acting, Benefits, Study
Friedrich Nietzsche (1997). “Nietzsche: Untimely Meditations”, p.98, Cambridge University Press

In the 'in-itself' there is nothing of 'causal connections', of 'necessity', or of 'psychological non-freedom'; there the effect does not follow the cause, there is no rule or 'law'. It is we alone who have devised cause, sequence, for-each-other, relativity, constraint, number, law, freedom, motive, and purpose; and when we project and mix this symbol world into things as if it existed 'in itself', we act once more as we have always acted- mythologically.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Law, Numbers, Connections

The various languages placed side by side show that with words it is never a question of truth, never a question of adequate expression; otherwise, there would not be so many languages. The 'thing in itself' (which is precisely what the pure truth, apart from any of its consequences, would be) is likewise something quite incomprehensible to the creator of language and something not in the least worth striving for.

One should adpot only those situations in which one is in no need of sham virtues, but rather, like the tight-rope dancer on his tight rope, in which one must either fall or stand--or escape.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Fall, Dancer, Needs
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (2007). “Twilight of the Idols with the Antichrist and Ecce Homo”, p.7, Wordsworth Editions

The sexes deceive themselves about one another: the reason being that at bottom they honor and love only themselves (or their ownideal, to express it more agreeably). Thus man wants woman to be peaceable--but woman is essentially, like the cat, not peaceable, however well she may have trained herself to assume the appearance of peace.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Sex, Cat, Men

Men seldom persevere in a vocation unless they believe or can convince themselves that it is fundamentally more important than anyother calling. Women are the same with their lovers.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Marriages that made out of love (so-called "love-matches") have error as their father and misery (necessity) as their mother.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Love, Marriage, Mother

For the longest time, marriage has had a guilty conscience about itself. Should we believe it?--Yes, we should believe it.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage, Believe, Guilty Conscience

What does it matter whether I am shown to be right! I am right too much!--And he who laughs best today will also laugh last.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Laughter, Laughing, Doe

The enjoyment that all morality has given us to now and that it continues to give us--and so, what has kept it going up to now--lies in everyone's right, without lengthy investigation, to praise and blame. And who could endure life without praising and blaming!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Lying, Giving, Morality

About what we neither know nor feel precisely while awake-whether we have a good or a bad conscience toward a certain person-our dreams instruct us fully and unambiguously.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Dream, Certain, Awake

This crown to crown the laughing man, this rose-wreath crown: I myself have set this crown upon my head, I myself have pronounced my laughter holy.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Laughter, Men, Laughing

Their usual mistaken premise is that they affirm some consensus among people, at least among tame peoples, concerning certain moral principles, and then conclude that these principles must be unconditionally binding also for you and me-or conversely, they see that among different peoples moral valuations are necessarily different and infer from this that no morality is binding-both of which are equally childish.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Moral Absolutism, People, Usual
Friedrich Nietzsche, Bernard Williams, Josefine Nauckhoff (2001). “Nietzsche: The Gay Science: With a Prelude in German Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs”, p.203, Cambridge University Press

There are expressions and bulls-eyes of the spirit, there are epigrams, a little handful of words, in which a whole culture, a whole society is suddenly crystallized.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Eye, Expression, Bulls

I will believe in the Redeemer when the Christians look a little more redeemed.
