You call yourself free. Free from what, or free for what?

You start by unlearning to love others, and you end by no longer finding anything in yourself worthy of love.

The age of conceit. Between 26 and 30 is a wonderful time of life, when a person is angry at fate because he is so much and seems so little.

There is no beautiful surface without terrible depth.

We lose interest in what we have learned as soon as we share it with others.

In Germany, desire is much more respected than skill: this is the most suitable region for imperfect and pretentious people.

Don't let yourself be deceived! The most active peoples carry within themselves the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness - they do not have sufficient content to wait and be lazy.

If only Europe would soon give birth to a great statesman, and the one who today, in the petty era of plebeian myopia, is honored as great realist, let him enjoy petty authority.

These constitutional monarchs were given virtue: from then on they can no longer act unjustly - but this is why their power was taken away from them.

Someone else becomes great only after death - through an echo.

Now it is only an echo through which events acquire greatness: the echo of newspapers.

Dühring, the superlative, is looking for corruption everywhere, but I sense another danger of the era: great mediocrity - never before has there been so much honesty and good behavior.

The era of the greatest achievements will turn out to be, in spite of everything, an era of the most insignificant influences if people are rubbery and overly elastic.

It is not what he does and plots against me during the day that bothers me, but the fact that I appear in his dreams at night horrifies me.

By recognizing something in a person, we at the same time kindle it in him, and whoever recognizes only the base qualities of a person has the power to stimulate them and allows them to be discharged. The emotions of your neighbors, directed against you, are criticism of your knowledge, according to the level of its height and baseness.

Out of your bitterness towards some person you concoct moral indignation for yourself - and admire yourself afterwards: and out of satiety with hatred - forgiveness - and again you admire yourself.

An extraordinary person learns in misfortune how insignificant all the dignity and decency of the people who condemn him are. They burst when their vanity is insulted - the intolerable, narrow-minded brute comes into view.

Even unsubstantiated slander leaves almost eternal traces.

A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it,
A lesson to good fellows.

So close!

Half-sage, half-ignorant,

They trade according to their will,
They bow their heads before idols
And they ask for money and chains!
