Nietzsche

Famous quotes containing the word nietzsche:

    One or the other is necessary: either a light disposition by nature or a disposition lightened by knowledge and art.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don’t want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The first opinion that occurs to us when we are suddenly asked about something is usually not our own but only the current one pertaining to our class, position, or parentage; our own opinions seldom swim on the surface.
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
