About life ethics

What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.

You must burn yourself in your own flame: how else would you like to be renewed without first turning to ashes!

Be who you are!

What falls, you still need to push!

This is the advice I give to kings and churches, and to everything that has grown decrepit with the severity of years and weakened in virtue: let yourself be overthrown! And you will come back to life, and virtue will come back to you!

If you believed more in life, you would be less devoted to the moment.

Since the existence of people, man has rejoiced too little: only in this, my brothers, is our original sin! And if we learn to rejoice more, then in this way we will best forget how to offend others and invent all kinds of sorrows.

My brothers, I urge you to love the distant one, and not the neighbor.

If a person has a why, he will endure any how.

Only those who have felt fear in their hearts have courage; who looks into the abyss, but looks with pride in their eyes.

The best way to get your day off to a good start is to wake up and wonder if one person can be happy today.

Whoever wants to learn to fly must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance: you cannot immediately learn to fly!

And if you no longer have a single ladder, you must learn to climb on your own head: how else would you like to climb higher?

If you decide to act, close the doors to doubt.

He who fights with monsters should beware lest he become a monster himself. And if you stare into the abyss for a long time, then the abyss also looks into you.

They kill not with anger, but with laughter.

Beware of morally indignant people: they have a sting of cowardly, hidden even from themselves anger.

Be indifferent, accepting anything! Show honor already by accepting - this is how I advise those who have nothing to bestow.

About human manifestations

We are more sincere towards others than towards ourselves.

There are the giver of natures and there are the reward.

These are not the worst things that we are most ashamed of: not only guile is hidden under the mask - there is so much kindness in cunning.

People who are distrustful of themselves want to be loved more than to love, so that one day, at least for a moment, they can believe in themselves.

Not what prevents us from being loved, but what prevents us from completely loving, we hate most.

Heroism is the goodwill for absolute self-destruction.

People who give us their complete trust think that by doing so they acquire the right to our trust. But this is a false conclusion: gifts do not acquire rights.

It is painful for a subtle soul to realize that someone owes her gratitude; a gross soul - to feel obliged to someone.

Talking a lot about yourself is also a way to hide yourself.

Blessed are those who forget, for they do not remember their own mistakes.

No winner believes in chance.

You will seldom be mistaken if you explain exceptional actions by vanity, mediocre ones by habit, and petty ones by fear.

Superficial people should always lie, since they are devoid of content.

The cruelty of an insensitive person is the opposite of compassion; the cruelty of the sensitive is a higher potency of compassion.

There are many cruel people who are just too cowardly to be cruel.

Cynicism is the only form in which vulgar souls come into contact with what is called sincerity; and a higher man should prick up his ears at every larger and more refined manifestation of cynicism and congratulate himself every time a shameless buffoon or a scientific satyr speaks right in front of him.

I have always noticed that the spouses who make up a bad couple are the most vindictive: they are ready to take revenge on the whole world for the fact that they can no longer part.

I don’t understand why I should go into backbiting. If you want to annoy someone, you just need to tell some truth about him.

About women and men

Are you going to women? Don't forget the whip!

Woman is the second mistake of God, every priest knows this.

A woman knows little about honor. Let it become her honor - to love always more than love her, and never be second in love.

Let the woman be a toy, pure and graceful, like a precious stone, shining with the virtues of a world that has not yet been created.

For too long a slave and a tyrant lurked in a woman. Therefore, she is incapable of friendship: she knows only love.

In the conscious love of a woman, there is both suddenness, and lightning, and darkness next to light.

Who does a woman hate the most? Iron spoke to the magnet like this: "Most of all I hate you because you attract, not having enough strength to drag with you."

This is how I want to see a man and a woman: him - capable of war, her - for childbirth, but so that both of them could dance - not only with their feet, but also with their heads.

A man should beware of a woman when she hates: for in the depths of his soul he is only evil, she is filth.

A man should beware of a woman when she loves: for then she is ready for any sacrifice, and everything else has no value in her eyes.

In a real man there is always a child hidden who wants to play. Find in him a child, women!

You should only talk about a woman with men.

A woman understands children better than a man, but in a man there is more childishness than in a woman.

There are two things a real man wants: danger and games. And therefore he is looking for a woman as the most dangerous toy.

About life

And you, my friends, say that there is no dispute about tastes? But all life is a dispute about tastes!

And this is the secret that life has told me: "Look," she said, "I am that which constantly overcomes itself."

Since time is infinite, infinity has already elapsed up to the present moment, that is, every possible development should have already taken place. Therefore, the observed development must be repetition.

Every moment being begins; a ring-shaped “there” revolves around each “here”. The middle is everywhere. The path of eternity is a curve.

We do not live for the future. We live to keep our past.

But if life so needs height, then it also needs steps, as well as the contradiction of steps and those ascending along them! Life wants to ascend and, ascending, to overcome itself.

The highest symbols should speak about time and becoming: they should praise everything that is transitory and be an excuse for it!

I would rather perish than renounce this: verily, where there is death, sunset and fall of leaves, there life sacrifices itself for the sake of power!

Life is a spring of joy; but wherever the rabble drinks, all the springs are poisoned.

Life is a spring of joy; but in whom the spoiled stomach speaks, the father of sorrow, for this reason all springs are poisoned.

Even when people are backing away, they are chasing an ideal - and they always believe in some kind of “forward”.

And most of all they hate the one who is able to fly.

Our duty is a right that others have on us.

The greatest events are not our noisiest, but our quietest hours.

Even the gods lay their banners in the face of boredom.

There are two ways to free you from suffering: quick death and lasting love.

The whole world believes it; but what does the whole world not believe!

About a human

Truly, man is a dirty stream.

Even the broadest soul, my brothers - what a pitiful land!

Man is something to be transcended.

Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman, it is a rope over the abyss.

Only a person resists the direction of gravity: he constantly wants to fall up.

The earth, he said, has a shell; and this shell is afflicted with disease. One of these diseases is called, for example: "man".

The same thing happens to a person as to a tree. The more he strives upward, toward the light, the deeper his roots dig into the earth, downward, into darkness and depth, toward evil.

A person is forever chained to the past: no matter how far and quickly he runs, the chain runs with him.

Only where the state ends, a person begins - not superfluous, but necessary: ​​there the song of the one who is needed sounds - the only and inimitable.

Humanity does not represent development for the better, or for the strongest, or for the highest, as it is still believed. "Progress" is only a modern idea, in other words, a false idea. The present European in value is deeply lower than the European of the Renaissance ...

The man of "modern ideas", this proud monkey, is terribly dissatisfied with himself - this is undeniable. He suffers, and his vanity wants him to only "co-suffer."

Man's demand to be loved is the greatest of all conceit.

Long and great suffering brings up a tyrant in a person.

About happiness

It is only his thoughts that make a person unhappy or happy, not external circumstances. By controlling his thoughts, he controls his happiness.

Every little happiness should be used like a sick bed: for recovery - and nothing else.

There is much more happiness in the world than how many his eyes, clouded with sadness see, if only to count correctly and not to forget those pleasant moments that are rich in every day of human life, no matter how hard it is ...

My brother, if happiness accompanies you, then you have only one virtue, and no more: then it is easier for you to walk across the bridge.

Misfortune has eluded you; enjoy this as your happiness!

And at dawn Zarathustra laughed in his heart and said mockingly: “Happiness is running after me. This is because I do not run after women. And happiness is a woman.

The happiness of a man is called: I want. A woman's happiness is called: he wants.

“Happiness has been found by us,” the last people say, and they blink.

By the way, quotes about happiness

About faith and reason

A free mind requires foundations, while others only need faith.

What the believer hates most is not a free mind, but a new mind with a new faith.

The Christian faith is from the very beginning a sacrifice: the sacrifice of all freedom, all pride, all the self-confidence of the spirit and at the same time giving oneself into slavery, self-abuse, self-mutilation.

Never before has any religion, either directly, indirectly, dogmatically or allegorically, contained truth. For every religion was born out of fear and want and invaded life through delusions of reason.

The concepts "on the other side", "the true world" are invented to devalue the only world that exists.

You were not yet looking for yourself when you found me. This is the case with all believers; and therefore all faith means so little.

The French were only monkeys and actors of these ideas, at the same time, their best soldiers and, unfortunately, at the same time their first and most significant victim.

About love

What is done for the sake of love takes place outside the realm of good and evil.

All great love does not want love, it longs for more.

Great love is higher than suffering, for what it loves, it still longs for - to create!

The freer and stronger the individual is, the more demanding his love becomes.

To love and perish: this combination is eternal. The will to love means the willingness to die.

Even the cup of the highest love contains bitterness ...

Those who until now have loved a person the most have always inflicted the greatest pain on him; like all lovers, they demanded the impossible from him.

There is always a little madness in love. But in madness there is always a little intelligence.

The misery of unrequited love does not end through mutual love, but through great love.

When you meet your person, you will understand why it didn’t work with others.

The squalor in love is willingly masked by the absence of something worthy of love.

Jealousy is the most ingenious passion, and yet it is still the greatest stupidity.

About virtue

As soon as we go one step beyond the average measure of human kindness, our actions cause distrust. Virtue rests just in the middle.

The domination of virtue can only be achieved by the same means by which domination is generally achieved, and, in any case, not by virtue.

When you have risen above praise and censure and your will desires to command all things as the will of a lover: then your virtue is born. When you despise a soft bed and everything pleasant, however, you easily fall asleep even near the luxurious beds of sissies: then your virtue is born.

In respectable people, I am the last to be repulsed by the evil that they carry in themselves.

"Love your neighbor" - this means first of all: "Leave your neighbor alone!" - And it is precisely this detail of virtue that is associated with the greatest difficulties.

About people

They are cold and seek warmth in alcohol; they are hot and looking for coolness from frozen minds; they are all frail and obsessed with public opinion.

Human society is an attempt, it is a long search; it seeks the one who commands!

Humanity is a means rather than an end. Humanity is just an experimental material.

There is nothing good in herds, even when they run after you.

They say "pleasure" - and think of delights; they say "feeling" - and think about sensuality; they say “body,” but think about what is lower, the body, and in this way the trinity of good things was dishonored.

I hate common people much more than sin.

I hate people who cannot forgive.

About the great

To be great is to give direction.

Whoever wants to become a driver of people must, for a good period of time, be reputed among them as their most dangerous enemy.

In the world, the best things still do not mean anything until there is someone who will present them from the stage: the crowd of these representatives calls them great people.

By giving up the war, you are giving up the great life.

Eleven-twelve of all the great people of history were only representatives of some great cause.

Anyone who is thirsty for glory must part with honor in advance and master the difficult art of leaving on time.

Every deep mind needs a mask - moreover, a mask gradually grows around every deep mind, thanks to the always false, namely, flat interpretation of every word, every step, every sign of life it gives.

About god

God is dead: now we want the superman to live.

If gods existed, how could I bear that I was not a god?

All gods are symbols and intricacies of poets!

Even God has his own hell - this is his love for people.

If God wanted to become an object of love, then he should first abdicate from the office of a judge administering justice: a judge, and even a merciful judge, is not an object of love.

Truly, it always attracts us upward - to the kingdom of clouds: on them we seat our motley stuffed animals and call them gods and Superman.

Previously, blasphemy against God was the greatest blasphemy; but God died, and these detractors also died with him.

About marriage

Marriage is the most isolated form of sexual activity.

The marriage was invented for mediocre people who are mediocre in both great love and great friendship - therefore, for the majority ...

Lots of brief madness is what you call love. And your marriage puts a limit on a lot of brief madness - one big and long stupidity.

A good marriage rests on a talent for friendship.

Marriage: this is what I call the will of two to create one, greater than those who created it. Marriage is mutual respect and reverence for this will.

To grow not only in breadth, but also to grow upward - may the garden of matrimony help you in this, my brothers!

About cognition

In the end, no one can learn more from things, including from books, than he already knows.

Truly, like the sun, I love life and all the deep seas. And this is what I call knowledge: so that everything deep rises to my height!

The knower is reluctant to immerse himself in the water of truth, not when it is dirty, but when it is shallow.

You lovers of knowledge! So what have you done out of love for knowledge so far? Have you already committed a theft or murder in order to find out what the soul of a thief and a murderer is like?

You can close your eyes to what you see. But you can't close your heart to what you feel.

He who knows himself is his own executioner.

We cool off to what we have learned as soon as we share it with others.

Any truth that is kept silent becomes poisonous.

We know very little and learn poorly: that's why we must lie.

About religion

The Church is a kind of state, moreover, the most deceitful.

Each church is a stone on the grave of the God-man: it certainly wants Him not to rise again.

Oh, look at these tents that the priests have erected! They call their dens, full of sugary aromas, churches!

In every religion, the religious person has an exception.

There is no relationship, no friendship, no enmity between religion and real science: they are on different planets.

As soon as religion gains dominance, all those who were its first followers become its opponents.

About myself

I walk among the people and keep my eyes open: people do not forgive me that I do not envy their virtues.

As soon as prudence says, "Don't do this, it will be misinterpreted," I always act contrary to it.

The depth of my sea is calm: no one even knows what funny monsters it hides!

I allow myself to be deceived, so as not to beware of deceivers.

Have I ever had a remorse? My memory is silent on this score.

I do not trust all taxonomists and shy away from them. The will to the system is the lack of honesty.

About Christianity

Neither morality nor religion in Christianity is in contact with any point of reality.

The Christian Church has left nothing untouched in its corruption, it has devalued every value, out of every truth it has made a lie, out of everything honest - a spiritual baseness.

The word "Christianity" is already a misunderstanding - in essence there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross.

Let us not value the Christian too low; fake to the point of innocence, rises high above the monkey; in relation to the Christian, the famous theory of origin is only courtesy.

About morality

Morality is the self-importance of a person in front of nature.

Being ashamed of your immorality is the first rung of the ladder, at the top of which you will be ashamed of your morality.

When the good are moralized, they are disgusting; when the wicked are moralized, they create fear.

Moral people feel self-righteous with remorse.

One could imagine a highly moral deceit, in which a person realizes his sexual desire only as a duty to conceive children.

About death and immortality

Death is close enough that you can not be afraid of life.

Many die too late, while others die too early. For the time being, the doctrine will seem strange: "Die in time!"

It is expensive to redeem - to be immortal: for this you die more than once alive.

Only where there are graves resurrections are performed!

Even in death, your spirit and virtue should burn, like the evening dawn over the earth: otherwise your death was badly successful for you.

About love yourself

Love your neighbors as yourself, but first become thosehe who loves himself loves with great love, loves with great contempt!

One must learn to love oneself - this is how I teach - with whole and healthy love: in order to endure oneself and not wander everywhere.

One must learn to love oneself - with a healthy and holy love, in order to remain true to oneself and not to lose oneself. And truly this is not a commandment for today and tomorrow - to learn to love yourself. On the contrary, of all arts, it is the most subtle, wisest, highest and most demanding of patience.

About values

Good and evil, wealth and poverty, high and low, and all the names of values ​​- all this will become a weapon and will militantly assert that life must overcome itself again and again!

The world revolves not around those who invent new noise, but around the inventors of new values; it whirls inaudibly.

Everything you loved disappointed you. Disappointment has become your habit, and your last love, which you call "love of truth," should be and is - love of disappointment.

Take a look at the believers! Who hates them the most? He who breaks the tablets of their values, who destroys and transgresses, but he is creative.

About superman

In every act of a superior man, your moral law is violated a hundredfold.

Commanding natures will command even their God, no matter how much it may seem to them that they are serving Him.

To dominate - and not to be a servant of God anymore: there is only this means left to ennoble people.

The freer and stronger the individual is, the more exacting his love becomes; finally, he longs to become a superman, for everything else does not satisfy his love.

About stupidity and intelligence

My way of retribution is to send something clever after stupidity as soon as possible: in this way, perhaps, you can still catch up with it.

The more a person is silent, the more he begins to speak rationally.

Most people are too stupid to be self-serving.

Oh, how many great ideas, whose action is like a blacksmith's bellows: from them a person puffs up and becomes even more empty.

About friends

If you are a slave, you cannot be a friend. If you are a tyrant, you cannot have friends.

Have you become clean air, bread and medicine for your friend? Some are unable to free themselves from their own chains, but saves their friend.

Do not try to embellish yourself for a friend: for you should be an arrow and an aspiration for the Superman for him.

But if you have a suffering friend, become a place of rest for his suffering, but at the same time a hard bed, a camp bed: this is the best way you can help him.

About culture and art

Culture is just a thin apple peel above the incandescent chaos.

Art makes the view of life bearable, enveloping it in the haze of impure thinking.

The actor has spirit, but little conscience of spirit. He always believes in that by means of which he makes others believe - he believes in himself!

About greatness

The striving for greatness gives out with the head: who has greatness, he strives for kindness.

People who strive for greatness are, as usual, evil people: this is their only way to endure themselves.

About good and evil

Those who love and create - this is who has always been the creator of good and evil. The fire of love and anger burns on the name days of all virtues.

No nation could survive without evaluating what is good and what is evil; in order to survive, he must evaluate differently than his neighbor. Much that is called good by one people, is reputed to be shame and reproach by another ... Much of what is called evil here was clothed in purple honors.

About books

It is not at all easy to find a book that has taught us as much as a book we have written ourselves.

Conventional books are always stinking books: the smell of little people sticks to them. Where the crowd eats and drinks, even where it worships, it usually stinks. You don't need to go to church if you want to breathe clean air.

By the way, quotes about books

About voluptuousness

Voluptuousness: this is a sweet poison only for the withered, for those who have the will of a lion, this is a great heartfelt reinforcement, a wine of all wines, reverently preserved.

Voluptuousness: it is innocent and free for free hearts, a garden of happiness on earth, festive abundance and the gift of the future from its abundance.

About actions

Each deed continues to create ourselves, it weaves our colorful garment. Every action is free, but attire is necessary. Our experience is our dress.

Do you want to be judged by your intentions and not by your actions? But where did you get your ideas from? From your actions!

About the will to power

What well? Anything that increases the feeling of power, the will to power, power in a person. What's wrong? Anything that comes from weakness.

The best should rule, and the best wants to rule! And where the teaching says otherwise, there are not enough of the best.

About existence

The most erroneous conclusions of people are as follows: a thing exists, therefore, it has the right to it.

Whoever wants to justify existence must also be able to be God's advocate before the devil.

About wine

A person forgets his guilt when he confesses it to another, but this latter usually does not forget it.

Not your sin - your complacency cries out to heaven; the insignificance of your sins cries out to heaven!

About conscience

There is a degree of inveterate deceit that is called "a clear conscience."

The desire for the flock is older than the attraction of one's own "I": and as long as a good conscience means the will of the flock, only a bad conscience will say "I".

About suicide

Our suicides discredit suicide - not the other way around.

Discouraging suicide. There is a right according to which we can take a person's life, but there is no right according to which we could take death from him; it is only cruelty.

About wisdom

The danger of the wise is that he is most susceptible to the temptation to fall in love with the unreasonable.

You all served the people and popular superstition, you glorified sages! - not the truth!

About music

Without music, life would be a delusion.

God gave us music so that we would first of all be drawn upward by it ...

About beauty

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

About power

He is commanded who cannot obey himself

There is no more cruel misfortune in human fate than when the rulers of the earth are not the first among their subjects. And then everything becomes deceitful, perverse, terrifying.

About different things

You need to carry more chaos in yourself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.

And may the day be lost to us when we never danced! And let any idea that did not have laughter be called false!

Until fate conquered us, we must lead her by the hand, like a child, and whip her; but if she conquered us, then we must try to love her.

"Let's not talk about it!" - "Friend, we have no right to even keep silent about this"

When skepticism and longing mate, mysticism arises.

For one, loneliness is the flight of the sick person, while for the other it is the flight from the sick.

Most of the quotes by Friedrich Nietzsche are just expressing his main ideas in the application to a particular phenomenon. However, some of the quotes are so subjective or contradictory that it is difficult to give an unambiguous interpretation.

It is no secret that Nietzsche was mentally ill and carried out part of his writings in a state darkened consciousness ... For an amateurish passage through the tops of his work through quotations, this is in its own way even not bad, since in this way many effective statements were born. But for professional researchers of his teachings, this is a serious problem.

It is curious how the greatest German philosopher of the 20th century, Martin Heidegger, approached its solution. He methodically isolated the periods of Nietzsche's life in which he was probably in a clear consciousness, and analyzed only those texts of Nietzsche that belonged to these periods ("European Nihilism"). As a result of his analysis, Heidegger characterizes Nietzsche philosophy as a metaphysics of subjectivity (unconditional subjectivity of the will to power).

And here is what Karl Jaspers advises: For a correct understanding of Nietzsche, something opposite is required to which, as it seems, the reading of his works directly prompts: it is not the perception of his categorical statements as the last reserved truth that leads to Nietzsche, but patience, possessing which you ask all new questions , you listen to something new and opposite to what has just been said, keeping the tension between the various possibilities.

Friedrich Nietzsche - German philosopher, author of non-academic teaching. His thinking activity is based on clarifying the problems of reality, religion, morality. His philosophical quibbles are aimed at destroying stereotypes, they contradict the established point of view. With his statements, the author departs from rationalism and creates a new, irrational, outlook on life. In our selection you will find statements by Friedrich Nietzsche about life, love, about God, about women.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

Culture is just a thin apple peel above the incandescent chaos.

The best should rule, and the best wants to rule! And where the teaching says otherwise, there are not enough of the best.

The best way to get your day off to a good start is to wake up and wonder if one person can be happy today.

When the good are moralized, they are disgusting; when the wicked are moralized, they create fear.

Many die too late, while others die too early. For the time being, the doctrine will seem strange: "Die in time!"

Interesting facts:

Do many of Nietzsche's sayings seem strange? There is a justification for this. Since childhood, he suffered from epilepsy, the disease was inherited from his father. In combination with a number of other serious illnesses, epilepsy was severe, which could not but affect the psyche. The philosopher has developed his own picture of the perception of the world. Nietzsche's treatises can partly be called the cry of the soul of a sick person.

In a peaceful environment, a warlike person attacks himself.

I came to help you, and you are complaining that I don’t want to cry with you.

I laugh at anyone who is unable to laugh at himself.

Those who suffer greatly are envied by the devil and expelled to heaven.

To live is to burn yourself and still not to burn out.

It is impossible to be free from what you run away from.

No winner believes in chance!

God is dead: now we want the superman to live.

He who fights with monsters should beware lest he become a monster himself. And if you stare into the abyss for a long time, then the abyss also looks into you.

And if you no longer have a single ladder, you must learn to climb on your own head: how else would you like to climb higher?

Death is close enough that you can not be afraid of life.

Talking a lot about yourself is also a way to hide yourself.

The greatest events are not our noisiest, but our quietest hours.

"Love your neighbor" - this means first of all: "Leave your neighbor alone!" - And it is precisely this detail of virtue that is associated with the greatest difficulties.

Even God has his own hell - this is his love for people.

Whoever wants to justify existence must also be able to be God's advocate before the devil.

There is a degree of inveterate deceit that is called "a clear conscience."

What well? Anything that increases the feeling of power, the will to power, power in a person. What's wrong? Anything that comes from weakness.

What falls, you still need to push.


If you decide to act, close the doors to doubt.

The same thing happens to a person as to a tree. The more he strives upward, toward the light, the deeper his roots dig into the earth, downward, into darkness and depth, toward evil.

Man is a rope stretched between an animal and a superman - a rope over an abyss.

What is valuable in a person is that he is a bridge, not a goal.

Being ashamed of your immorality is the first rung of the ladder, at the top of which you will be ashamed of your morality.

Don't be afraid to lose someone. You will not lose the one you need in life. Those who are sent to you for experience are lost. Those who are sent to you by fate remain.

Whoever wants to learn to fly must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance: you cannot immediately learn to fly!

Jealous people often condemn what they don't know how to do and criticize those they never reach.

People distrustful of themselves want to be loved more than to love, so that one day, at least for a moment, they can believe in themselves.

People are not equal. And they don't have to be equal! What would my love for the Superman be if I spoke differently?

People lie freely with their mouths, but the face still tells the truth ...

Beware of the little people! Before you they feel insignificant, and their baseness smolders and flares up into invisible revenge.

They don't plan friendship, they don't shout about love, they don't prove the truth.

Marriage is the most isolated form of sexual activity.

It is interesting:

Nietzsche's irrational theory has its roots, and the denial of the limits of human consciousness is fully justified. The philosopher spent the last 11 years in an insane asylum, where he wrote his works. In philosophical treatises, Nietzsche poured out his grievances and regrets, expressed the principles of life. He admitted that he had an intimate relationship with his sister, later the author's revelations were transferred to the book "My Sister and Me".

Those who are incapable of either love or friendship are most likely betting on marriage.

You are entering into a marriage: be careful that it does not become a conclusion to you! You are in too much of a hurry to get married, and this is the consequence - the dissolution of the marriage bond!

Marriage: this is what I call the will of two to create one, greater than those who created it. Marriage is mutual respect and reverence for this will.

What is done for the sake of love takes place outside the realm of good and evil.

Love your neighbors as yourself - but first become those who love yourself - love with great love, love with great contempt!

There are two ways to free you from suffering: quick death and lasting love.


The freer and stronger the individual is, the more demanding his love becomes.

For too long a slave and a tyrant lurked in a woman. Therefore, she is incapable of friendship: she knows only love.

The freer and stronger the individual is, the more demanding his love becomes.

The misery of unrequited love does not end through mutual love, but through great love.

There are two things a real man wants: danger and games. And therefore he is looking for a woman as the most dangerous toy.

The happiness of a man is called: I want. A woman's happiness is called: he wants.

A woman knows little about honor. Let it become her honor - to love always more than love her, and never be second in love.

A woman understands children better than a man, but in a man there is more childishness than in a woman.

Who does a woman hate the most? Iron spoke to the magnet like this: "Most of all I hate you because you attract, not having enough strength to drag with you."

A man should beware of a woman when she loves: for then she is ready for any sacrifice, and everything else has no value in her eyes.

A man is a danger and a game. Therefore, he needs a woman, for she is a dangerous toy.

Motherhood is worthy of respect. Father is always just an accident.

Do you know?

During his lifetime, the thinker was practically not supported, but after his death his works became widespread. Few people know that it was Nietzsche's philosophical thoughts that inspired Hitler to fight for the German Reich.

A man should beware of a woman when she hates: for in the depths of his soul he is only evil, she is filth.
You go to a woman - take a whip.

In revenge and love, a woman is more barbarian than a man.

There are two things a real man wants: danger and play. That is why he needs a woman - as the most dangerous toy.

Science hurts the bashfulness of all real women. At the same time, they feel as if they looked under their skin or, even worse, under their dress and headdress.

In the depths of their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt - contempt for "a woman."


A woman learns to hate to the extent that she forgets how to charm.

Seducing a neighbor to have a good opinion of her and then with all my heart believe this neighbor's opinion - who can compare with women in this trick!

A woman begins to lose shame, she forgets how to be afraid of a man.

Women are more sensual than men, but they know less about their sensuality.

A woman feels the love of a man, but does not understand it.

Women are deprived of their childhood by the fact that they constantly fiddle with children, as their caregivers.

Everything in a woman is a mystery, and everything in a woman has one clue: it is called pregnancy.

A man should be brought up for war, and a woman for the repose of a warrior; everything else is stupidity.

Happiness is running after me. This is because I am not a woman. And happiness is a woman.

Only he who is man enough will liberate in woman - woman.

Nietzsche's philosophy does not have a strict systematization. The thinker expresses his views not in a strict scientific form, but in the form of aphorisms. Thanks to this, Nietzsche's philosophy is understandable to many.

The winding path of the greats

The famous German philosopher Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was born on October 15, 1844 in the town of Recken near Lützen.

The philosopher's ancestors were the Polish noblemen Nitski. Father, Karl Ludwig Nietzsche, was a parish priest, he received a parish from the Prussian king Frederick William IV. The philosopher owes his name to his father's deep reverence for the king.

Unfortunately, the family lost their breadwinner early - he died at the age of thirty-six - when Frederick was not even five years old. Like his father, Frederick was in poor health, and a trace of the passing life lay on his entire physical condition. The desire to overcome the illness resulted in spiritual activity, in the desire to live a full-blooded, multifaceted life. He is seriously interested in music, even composes it. His poetic talent manifests itself. At the age of ten, he seriously reflects on the compositions of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn. Music stayed with him for life. Music illuminated his philosophical thoughts and poetry.

Later, being carried away by theology and philology, Nietzsche gave preference to philology; he studied at the University of Leipzig in the seminars of Professor F.V. Richl.

At twenty-two, Nietzsche was an employee of the Central Literary Gazette.

He later became professor of classical philology at the University of Basel.

From under his pen there are works written in the genre of philosophical and artistic prose, poetry.

The Birth of Tragedy from the Spirit of Music is Nietzsche's first published book. Then there will be "Twilight of idols", "Human, too human", "Merry Science", "Morning Dawn", "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "Beyond Good and Evil", "Genealogy of Morality" and others.

In Russia, they got acquainted with the work of Friedrich Nietzsche, when his main works were already published. Nietzsche's thoughts were ahead of the development of society. During his lifetime, he had difficulty finding publishers for his books. Only lonely voices supported him. But time passed, and many found spiritual closeness with him.

European critics of those years often mentioned the proximity of Nietzsche's work to Russian culture, in particular, to the works of F.M. Dostoevsky, L.N. Tolstoy.

One way or another, but truly Russian culture, like Nietzsche's work, is characterized by a slight melancholy, artless melancholy, dreaminess. "Philosophy of Life" permeates all the works of this outstanding representative of German culture.

This book contains the most valuable seeds of thoughts of Friedrich Nietzsche.


L.M. Martyanova

The heart is a man and the head is a woman


I want to teach people the meaning of their being: this meaning is superman, lightning from a dark cloud called man.


Man is something that must be surpassed.


Man is a rope stretched between an animal and a superman - a rope over an abyss.


Everything in a woman is a mystery, and everything in a woman has one clue: it is called pregnancy.


There are two things a real man wants: danger and games. Therefore, he wants a woman as the most dangerous toy.


A man should be brought up for war, and a woman for the repose of a warrior; everything else is stupidity.


A warrior does not like fruits that are too sweet. Therefore he loves a woman; in the sweetest woman there is also bitter.


A woman understands children better than a man, but a man is more of a child than a woman.


Let your honor be in your love! In general, a woman understands little about honor. But let it be your honor to always love more than be loved, and never be second.


Let a man be afraid of a woman when she loves: for she makes any sacrifice and every other thing has no value for her.


Let a man be afraid of a woman when she hates: for a man at heart is only angry, and a woman is still bad.


The happiness of a man is called: I want. A woman's happiness is called: he wants.


And a woman must obey, and find depth to her surface. The surface is the soul of a woman, a mobile, turbulent film on shallow water.


But the soul of a man is deep, its stormy stream makes noise in the underground caves; the woman senses his strength, but does not understand it.


You must grow not only in breadth, but also upward! May the garden of matrimony help you in this!


People are not equal.


A woman learns to hate to the extent that she forgets how to charm.


The same affects in a man and a woman are nevertheless different in pace - that is why a man and a woman do not cease not to understand each other.



In the depths of their personal vanity, women themselves always have an impersonal contempt - contempt for "a woman."


To become a mature husband means to regain the seriousness that was possessed in childhood, during games.


Huge expectations from sexual love and the shame of these expectations in advance spoil all prospects for women.


Where love or hate does not play along, the woman plays mediocre.


Even the showroom is corrupted - by marriage.


Science hurts the bashfulness of all real women. At the same time, they feel as if they looked under their skin or, even worse, under their dress and headdress.


Both sexes are deceived in each other - from this comes the fact that, in essence, they honor and love only themselves (or, if you will, their own ideal). Thus, a man wants peacefulness from a woman, and meanwhile a woman essentially she is just as quarrelsome as a cat, no matter how well she learns to look peaceful.


In revenge and love, a woman is more barbarian than a man.


If a woman displays scientific inclinations, then usually something is wrong in her reproductive system. Sterility already disposes of a certain masculinity of taste; the man, if I may say so, is just a "barren animal."


Comparing a man and a woman in general, we can say the following: a woman would not be so brilliant in the art of dressing up if she did not instinctively feel that her lot is second roles.


Seducing a neighbor to have a good opinion of her and then with all my heart believe this neighbor's opinion - who can compare with women in this trick!


And truth demands, like all women, that her lover should become a liar for her sake - but it is not her vanity that demands this, but her cruelty.


There is something similar to the relationship of both sexes to each other in an individual person, namely, the relationship of will and intellect (or, as they say, heart and head) is the essence of a man and a woman; between them it is always about love, conception, pregnancy. And notice carefully: heart here is a man, and the head is a woman!


"Man does not exist, for the first man did not exist!" - so the animals conclude.


That "a foolish woman with a kind heart stands high above a genius" sounds very polite - in the mouth of a genius. This is his courtesy - but it is also his cleverness.


The woman and the genius don't work. The woman was still the greatest luxury of humanity. Every time we do whatever is in our power, we do not work. Labor is just a means leading to these moments.


Women are much more sensual than men, precisely because they are far from so strongly aware of sensuality as such, as is inherent in men.


For all women who are forbidden by custom and shame to satisfy their sexual desire, religion, as a spiritual uncoupling of the erotic need, turns out to be something irreplaceable.


The needs of the heart. Animals during estrus do not so easily confuse their hearts and their desires, as people and especially women do.


If a woman attacks a man, it is only to protect herself from the woman. If a man enters into a friendship with a woman, then it seems to her that he is doing this because he is not able to achieve more.


Our age is eager to ascribe to the cleverest men a taste for immature, meager and submissive simpletons, Faust's taste for Gretchen; it testifies against the taste of the century itself and its smartest husbands.


In many women, as in mediumistic natures, intelligence manifests itself only suddenly and in impulses, moreover with unexpected strength: the spirit then blows “over them,” and not out of them, as it seems. Hence their three-eyed cleverness in confused things - hence their belief in influx.


Women are deprived of their childhood by the fact that they constantly fiddle with children, as their caregivers.


Bad enough! The time of marriage comes much earlier than the time of love: understanding the latter as evidence of maturity - in a man and a woman.


The sublime and honest form of sex life, the form of passion, has now unclean conscience. And the most vulgar and dishonest - clean conscience.


Marriage is the most deceived form of sex life, and that is why it has a clear conscience on its side.


Marriage can be suitable for people who are incapable of love or friendship and willingly try to mislead themselves and others about this deficiency - who, having no experience in either love or friendship, cannot be disappointed and by the marriage itself.


Marriage was invented for mediocre people who are mediocre both in great love and in great friendship - therefore, for the majority: but also for those quite rare people who are capable of both love and friendship.


Those who are incapable of either love or friendship are most likely to rely on marriage.


Who is strong suffers, to that jealous the devil and drives him out - to heaven.


Only in a mature husband becomes family characteristic quite obvious; least of all in easily excitable, impulsive young men. Silence must come first, and number influences coming from the outside to be reduced; or, on the other hand, should weaken significantly impulsiveness.- So, aging peoples are characterized by talkativeness in terms of characteristic for their properties, and they reveal these properties more clearly than at the time of their youthful flowering.

about the author

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, IPA: [? F? I? D ???? v? Lh? Lm? Ni? T ??]; October 15, 1844 (18441015), Röcken , Prussia - August 25, 1900, Weimar, Germany) - German philosopher, poet, composer, culturologist, representative of irrationalism. He sharply criticized the religion, culture and morals of his time and developed his own ethical theory. Nietzsche was more of a literary than an academic philosopher, and his writings are aphoristic in nature. Nietzsche's philosophy had a great influence on the formation of existentialism and postmodernism, and also became very popular in literary and artistic circles. Interpretation of his works is rather difficult and still causes a lot of controversy.

Born in Röcken (near Leipzig, eastern Germany), the son of the Lutheran pastor Karl Ludwig Nietzsche (1813-1849). During his studies at the gymnasium, he showed significant talent for philology and music. In 1864-69 Nietzsche studied theology and classical philology at the Bonn and Leipzig universities. During the same period, he became acquainted with the works of Schopenhauer and became an admirer of his philosophy. Nietzsche's development was also favorably influenced by his friendship with Richard Wagner, which lasted for many years. At the age of 23 he was drafted into the Prussian army and enlisted in the horse artillery, but, being injured, he was demobilized. Three years later, he will enthusiastically accept the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and volunteer to go to the front.

Nietzsche was a brilliant student and developed an excellent reputation in academia. Thanks to this, he already in 1869 received the position of professor of classical philology at the University of Basel (at the age of only 25). There he worked for about 10 years, despite numerous illnesses. The issue of Nietzsche's citizenship is still controversial. According to some sources, he remained stateless after renouncing Prussian citizenship in 1869; however, other sources claim that Nietzsche became a Swiss citizen.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche is a German thinker, classical philologist, composer, poet, creator of an original philosophical doctrine, which is emphatically non-academic and, in part, therefore, is widespread, extending far beyond the scientific and philosophical community.

Don't be afraid to lose someone. You will not lose the one you need in life. Those who are sent to you for experience are lost. Those who are sent to you by fate remain.

You can always close your eyes to what you see, but you cannot close your heart to what you feel ...

Let them say whatever they want to hurt me. They know me too little to beknow what really hurts me.

Don't think too much. This is how you create problems that did not exist in the first place.

You are entering into a marriage: be careful that it does not become a conclusion to you!

A man's happiness is called "I want." A woman's happiness is called "He wants."

Where it is impossible to love anymore, there you have to pass by.

Not that you deceived me, but that I can no longer believe you, shocked me.

The danger of the wise is that he is most susceptible to the temptation to fall in love with the unreasonable.

It is impossible to be free from what you run away from.

A man is a danger and a game. Therefore, he needs a woman, for she is a dangerous toy.

The most subtle humor evokes the most imperceptible smile.

No winner believes in chance!

Iron spoke to the magnet like this: "Most of all I hate you for the fact that you attract, not having enough strength to drag with you!"

People lie freely with their mouths, but the face still tells the truth ...

I came to help you, and you are complaining that I don’t want to cry with you.

Beware of the good and the righteous! They love to crucify those who invent their own virtue for themselves.

He who fights with monsters should beware lest he become a monster himself. And if you stare into the abyss for a long time, then the abyss also looks into you.

A woman perceives a man as a friend if he is unable to achieve more.
