Friedrich Nietzsche
Stupid, Men, Water
Friedrich Nietzsche, R. J. Hollingdale (1996). “Nietzsche: Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits”, p.184, Cambridge University Press

It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Dirty, Naughty, Water
Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.107, Penguin

One never dives into the water to save a drowning man more eagerly than when there are others present who dare not take the risk.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Men, Water, Risk

We are doubly willing to jump into the water after some one who has fallen in, if there are people present who have not the courage to do so.

Friedrich Nietzsche
People, Water, Fallen
Friedrich Nietzsche (2012). “Human, All-Too-Human: Parts One and Two”, p.159, Courier Corporation

We have to learn how to come out of unclean situations cleaner than we were, and even how to wash ourselves with dirty water whenwe need to.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Dirty, Water, Needs

Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Water, Trying, Crowds

Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity. For the crowd believes that if it cannot see to the bottom of something it must be profound. It is so timid and dislikes going into the water.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Believe, Profound, Water

What a dissimilarity we see in walking, swimming, and flying. And yet it is one and the same motion: it is just that the load- bearing capacity of the earth differs from that of the water, and that that of the water differs from that of the air! Thus we should also learn to fly as thinkers--and not imagine that we are thereby becoming idle dreamers!

Friedrich Nietzsche
Swimming, Air, Water

The public easily confuses him who fishes in troubled waters with him who draws up water from the depths.

Friedrich Nietzsche
Water, Depth, Obscurity
