And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The hypocrite who always plays one and the same part ceases at last to be a hypocrite.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
The devotion of the greatest is to encounter risk and danger, and play dice for death.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Nothing seems to me to be rarer today then genuine hypocrisy. I greatly suspect that this plant finds the mild atmosphere of our culture unendurable. Hypocrisy has its place in the ages of strong belief: in which even when one is compelled to exhibit a different belief one does not abandon the belief one already has.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
I distrust all systematisers, and avoid them. The will to a system shows a lack of honesty.
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
