“Dangerous Helpfulness. There are people who want to make men's lives more difficult for no other reason than afterwards to offer them their prescriptions for making life easier -- their Christianity, for example.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Man Alone with Himself
“To speak about oneself not at all is a very refined form of hypocrisy.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Man Alone with Himself
“One man adheres to an opinion because he prides himself on having come upon it by himself; another because he has learned it with effort, and is proud of having grasped it: thus both out of vanity.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Man Alone with Himself

“The only human right. - He who deviates from the traditional falls victim to
the extraordinary; he who remains in the traditional becomes its slave. In
either event he perishes.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Man Alone with Himself
“poets. Just as bad poets, in the second half of a line, look for a thought to fit their rhyme, so people in the second half of their lives, having become more anxious, look for the actions, attitudes, relationships that suit those of their earlier life, so that everything will harmonize outwardly. But then they no longer have any powerful thought to rule their life and determine it anew; rather, in its stead, comes the intention of finding a rhyme.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Man Alone with Himself
“Alienated from the present. There are great advantages in for once removing ourselves distinctly from our time and letting ourselves be driven from its shore back into the ocean of former world views. Looking at the coast from that perspective, we survey for the first time its entire shape, and when we near it again, we have the advantage of understanding it better on the whole than do those who have never left it.”
Friedrich Nietzsche, Man Alone with Himself
