Famous quotes containing the word nietzsche:

    I am afraid that the animals regard man as a creature like themselves which has lost its sound animal wits in a most dangerous way—that they regard him as the deranged animal, as the laughing animal, as the weeping animal, as the unhappy animal.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Either we have no dreams or we have interesting ones.—We need to learn to be awake in the same way:—either not at all or in an interesting way.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The church is precisely that against which Jesus preached—and against which he taught his disciples to fight.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
