Friedrich Nietzsche quotes [View all]

At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid.


The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.


You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star.


He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

Choose your favorite and provide some thoughts if you wish.
