Your soul will be dead even before your body: fear nothing further.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Fear, Soul, Body
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.87, Penguin

I have found strength where one does not look for it: in simple, mild, and pleasant people, without the least desire to rule -- and, conversely, the desire to rule has often appeared to me a sign of inward weakness: they fear their own slave soul and shroud it in a royal cloak (in the end, they still become the slaves of their followers, their fame, etc.)

Friedrich Nietzsche
Simple, People, Soul
Walter Arnold Kaufmann, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1968). “Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist”

Friedrich Nietzsche
Life, Death, Soul
Friedrich Nietzsche (2009). “Basic Writings of Nietzsche”, p.165, Modern Library

"God", "the immortality of the soul", "salvation", "the beyond"-even as a child I had no time for such notions, I do not waste any time upon them-maybe I was never childish enough for that?

Friedrich Nietzsche
Children, Soul, Religion
Friedrich Nietzsche (2016). “Ecce Homo: How One Becomes What”, p.19, Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not in how one soul approaches another but in how it withdraws that I knowr its affinity and solidarity with the other.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Soul, Affinity, Solidarity

I have been casting shadows all my life without caring about how deeply they stain my soul.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Caring, Soul, Shadow

To become the founder of a new religion one must be psychologically infallible in one's knowledge of a certain average type of souls who have not yet recognized that they belong together.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Average, Soul, Together
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1974). “The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs”, Vintage

Egoism is the very essence of a noble soul.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Essence, Soul, Noble

If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event - and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Self, Soul, Events

It is certain that the Jew, if he desired-or if they were driven to it, as the antisemites seem to wish-could now have the ascendancy, nay, literally the supremacy, over Europe; that they are not working or planning for that end is equally sure... The resourcefulness of the modern Jews, both in mind and soul, is extraordinary.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Europe, Soul, Mind

What is happening to me happens to all fruits that grow ripe. It is the honey in my veins that makes my blood thicker, and my soul quieter.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Blood, Soul, Veins

Body am I entirely, and nothing else; and soul is only a word for something about the body.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Soul, Body
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.95, Penguin

I consist of body and soul - in the worlds of a child. And why shouldn't we speak like children? But the enlightened, the knowledgealbe would say: I am body through and through, nothing more; and the soul is just a word for something on the body.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Children, Soul, World

Well-meaning, helpful, good-natured attitudes of mind have not come to be honored on account of their usefulness, but because they are states of richer souls that are capable of bestowing and have their value in the feeling of the plenitude of life.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Attitude, Soul, Feelings
Friedrich Nietzsche (2011). “The Will to Power”, p.654, Vintage

I love him whose soul is lavish, who wanteth no thanks and doth not give back: for he always bestoweth, and desireth not to keep for himself.

Friedrich Nietzsche

It is some fundamental certainty which a noble soul has about itself, something which is not to be sought, is not to be found, and perhaps, also, is not to be lost. The noble soul has reverence for itself.

Friedrich Nietzsche (2017). “Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Hellenism & Pessimism – 3 Unbeatable Philosophy Books in One Volume: The Birth of Tragedy”, p.619, e-artnow

"Body am I, and soul" - so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children?
