Nietzsche


One of my major inspirations in philosophy was Friedrich Nietzsche, if you ever have the chance to pick up one of his books I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Nietzsche, in my opinion, is the all time king of one-liners. So please enjoy some of his wonderful insights.


"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."

"The irrationality of a thing is no argument against its existence, rather a condition of it."

"The visionary lies to himself, the liar only to others."


"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."

"The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments."
