Famous quotes containing the word nietzsche:

    Once we have found ourselves, we must understand how from time to time to lose—and then to find—ourselves once again: assuming, that is, that we are thinkers. For a thinker it is a drawback to be bound to a single person all the time.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Glance into the world just as though time were gone: and everything crooked will become straight to you.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    We must be cruel as well as compassionate: let us guard against becoming poorer than nature is!
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
