Friedrich Nietzsche Jenseits von Gut und Böse

Egoism is the law of perspective applied to feelings

Morality is really nothing but a refinement of piratical morality.

We find other people's vanity contrary to our taste only when it is contrary to our vanity.

All truth is simple... is that not doubly a lie?

Invisible threads are the strongest ties.

There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.

Silence is worse; all truths that are kept silent become poisonous.

The man of knowledge should learn how to speak his wisdom: and often in such a way that it sounds like folly

What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?

The greatest accomplishment of past mankind is that we no longer have to live in continual fear of wild animals, of barbarians, of gods and of our own dreams.

To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity.

Philosophy is not suited for the masses, what they need is holiness.

Some are made modest by great praise, others insolent.

There's no defense against stupidity.

There are no moral phenomena at all, but only a moral interpretation of phenomena.

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings - always darker, emptier and simpler.

There are no beautiful surfaces without a terrible depth.

There are no facts, only interpretations.

Man is the cruelest animal.

Woman was God's second mistake.
