Nietzsche Philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words nietzsche and/or philosophy:

    The vanity of others offends our taste only when it offends our vanity.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The late PrĂ©sident de Montesquieu told me that he knew how to be blind—he had been so for such a long time—but I swear that I do not know how to be deaf: I cannot get used to it, and I am as humiliated and distressed by it today as I was during the first week. No philosophy in the world can palliate deafness.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
