Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes

Beyond Good and Evil..

Chapter 4 

Apophthegms and Interludes 

Without any hesitation or any suspects, Nietzsche was one of the  great Existential Philosopher of the late 19th century 

While reading one of the most influential books by Nietzsche  Beyond Good and Evil, one will come across many deep quotes and paragraphs.

The thing which I really love in Nietzsche's way of writing is his very concise way of writing.

He himself has said this- "I can write in a sentence what it takes other people a book to write. ."

The level of confidence Nietzsche had is reflected in his writings ...

Here are some quotes from him in chapter 4 of Beyond Good and Evil 

Read Nietzsche...and feel his words.

 

1) In praise there is more obtrusiveness than in blame.

 

2) One loves ultimately one’s desires, not the thing desired.

                  (Isn't it true?😉😉 otherwise there would have been no debate on "Why is it hard to find a true love partner?"  cause we love our desires, not the person whom we going to love or pretend that we love them. The desire could be in any form physical needs, mental needs, ego satisfaction or sometimes to be part of a cult.)

3)   The vanity of others is only counter to our taste when it is counter to our vanity.

4)     He who exults at the stake does not triumph over the pain, but because of the fact that he does not feel pain where he expected it. A  parable.

 

5) The one seeks an accoucheur for his thoughts, the other seeks someone whom he can assist, a good conversation thus originates.

6) Where there is the tree of knowledge, there is always Paradise so say the most ancient and most modern serpents.

 

7) WHAT IS DONE OUT OF LOVE ALWAYS TAKES PLACE BEYOND GOOD AND EVIL.

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

 

9) Love brings to light the noble and hidden qualities of a lover – his rare and exceptional traits: it is thus liable to be deceptive as to his normal characters.

 

10) There is haughtiness of kindness which has the appearance of wickedness.

(Almost the same thing has been said by contemporary Philosopher  Slavoj Zizek he says always be aware of the hidden motive behind when one talks negatively or degrades himself/herself)

He interpreted it as by talking negatively they want to prove they are superior to you.

 

11) There is innocence in lying which is a sign of good faith in the cause.

 

12) In praise there is more obtrusiveness than in blame.

 

13) To vigorous men intimacy is a matter of shame and something precious.

 

14) To talk much about oneself may also be a means of concealing oneself.

 

15) Pity has an almost ludicrous effect on a man of knowledge, like tender hands on a Cyclops.

 

16) One does not hate as long as one disesteems, but only when one esteems equal or superior.

 

17) Knowledge for its own sake- that is the last snare laid by morality: we are thereby completely entangled in morals once more.

18) We are most dishonorable towards our God: he is not permitted to sin.

 

19) “I did that,” says my memory. “I could not have done that,” says my pride and remain inexorable. Eventually – the memory yields.

 

20) It is not the strength, but the duration of great sentiments that makes a great man.

 

                           I hope you would have loved and liked his words...
