Friedrich Nietzsche in Junior Choir Class


The back of this little boy's shirt got me to thinking --- what are other, famous   Friedrich Nietzsche quotes??  (other than the one about God being dead, of course) 

For your entertainment, here is a sampling:

Insanity in individuals is rare - but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs, it is the rule

~ The lonely one offers his hand too quickly to whomever he encounters

~ The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good thing for the first time

~ When thou goest to woman, take thy whip

~ woman may very well form a friendship with a man, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by a little physical antipathy

~ Never to talk of oneself is a form of hypocrisy

~ For every man there exists a bait which he cannot resist swallowing

~ Sleeping is no mean art. For its sake one must stay awake all day

This one made me laugh harder than some of his other quotes:

~ Family love is messy, clinging, and of an annoying and repetitive pattern, like bad wallpaper
