I was looking for a suitable epigraph for one of the posts, and in my collection of quotes I found an interesting selection of quotes from various works by F. Nietzsche ... which I bring to your attention ...:
Aphorisms, quotes, sayings, phrases of Nietzsche Friedrich Wilhelm...
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher.
Influenced by Schopenhauer.
In his writings, he made a nihilistic critique of culture,
preached immoralism - rejection of morality, negative attitude
to all moral principles.
In the works "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", "The Will to Power", etc.,created the theory of "superman" - an individualistic cult strong personality, which, at the same time, was combined with a romanticNietzsche's idea of the "man of the future".
Mental illness interrupted the work of the philosopher.
Nietzsche spent the last quarter of his life in a psychiatric hospital.

Love, perhaps, your neighbor as yourself. But above all, be those who love themselves.

Without the dogmas of faith, no one could live even a moment! However, these dogmas have by no means been proven. Life is not an argument at all; among the conditions of life could be delusion.
An evil god is needed no less than a good one - after all, you owe your own existence by no means to tolerance and philanthropy. What is the use of a god who does not know anger, envy, cunning, mockery, vindictiveness and violence?
The teaching and the apostle who does not see the weakness of his teaching, his religion, etc., blinded by the authority of the teacher and reverence for him, usually has more power than the teacher. Never has the influence of man and his works grown without blind disciples.

Whoever is able to strongly feel the look of a thinker cannot escape the terrible impression that animals make, whose eye slowly, as if on a rod, bulges out of the head and looks around.
Whoever has an aversion to the sublime, not only "yes", but also "no" seems too pathetic - he does not belong to the negative minds, and, if he happens to be in their way, he suddenly stops and runs away - into the thicket of skepticism.
There is nothing in my head but personal morality, and to make myself entitled to it is the essence of all my historical questions about morality. It is terribly difficult to create such a right for yourself.
Strange! As soon as I keep silent about some thought and stay away from it, this very thought will certainly appear to me embodied in the guise of a man, and now I have to be nice to this "angel of God"!
To hurt the one we love is sheer hell. In relation to ourselves, this is the state of heroic people: extreme violence. The desire to fall into the opposite extreme applies here.
Virtue only gives happiness and a certain bliss to those who firmly believe in their virtue - not at all to the more refined souls, whose virtue consists in a deep distrust of themselves and of all virtue. In the end, here, too, "faith makes blessed"! - and not, carefully note this, virtue!
The founder of Christianity believed that people did not suffer from anything more than from their sins: this was his delusion, the delusion of one who felt himself without sin, who lacked experience here.
If God wanted to become an object of love, then he should first renounce the office of judge administering justice: a judge, and even a merciful judge, is not an object of love.
"THUS SAID ZARATHUSTRA..."
Friedrich Nietzsche - German philosopher, author of non-academic teachings. His mental activity is based on clarifying the problems of reality, religion, morality. His philosophical demands are aimed at destroying stereotypes, they contradict the established point of view. With his statements, the author departs from rationalism and creates a new, irrational, outlook on life. In our selection you will find the sayings of Friedrich Nietzsche about life, love, about God, about women.
Beauty is the promise of happiness.
Culture is just a thin apple peel over red-hot chaos.
The best must rule, and the best wants to rule! And where the teaching says otherwise, there are not enough of the best.
The best way to start the day well is to wake up and think about whether it is possible to bring joy to at least one person today.
When the good ones moralize, they arouse disgust; when the evil ones moralize, they cause fear.
Many die too late, and others too soon. For the time being, the teaching will seem strange: “Die in time!”
Curious facts:
Do many of Nietzsche's sayings seem strange? This has its own justification. He suffered from epilepsy since childhood, the disease was inherited from his father. In combination with a number of other serious illnesses, epilepsy proceeded in a severe form, which could not but affect the psyche. The philosopher has developed his own picture of perception of the world. Nietzsche's treatises can partly be called the cry of the soul of a sick person.
To live is to burn yourself and still not burn out.In a peaceful environment, a warlike person attacks himself.
I came to help you, and you complain that I don't want to cry with you.
I laugh at anyone who is incapable of laughing at himself.
Whoever suffers greatly, the devil envies him and expels him to heaven.
You can't be free from what you're running from.
No winner believes in chance!
God is dead: now we want the superman to live.
Whoever fights monsters should be careful not to become a monster himself. And if you look into the abyss for a long time, then the abyss also looks into you.
And if you have no more ladders, you must learn to climb on your own head: how else would you like to climb higher?
Death is close enough to not be afraid of life.
Talking a lot about yourself is also a way to hide yourself.
The greatest events are not our noisiest, but our quietest hours.
“Love your neighbor” means first of all: “Leave your neighbor alone!” “And it is precisely this detail of virtue that is the most difficult.
Even God has his own hell - this is his love for people.
Whoever wants to justify existence must also be able to be God's advocate before the devil.
There is a degree of inveterate deceit, which is called "clear conscience."
What well? Everything that increases the feeling of power, the will to power, power in a person. What's wrong? Everything that comes from weakness.
What falls needs to be pushed further.
If you decide to act, close the doors to doubt. The same thing happens to a person as to a tree. The more it aspires upwards, towards the light, the deeper its roots dig into the earth, downwards, into darkness and depth - to evil.
Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the superman, a rope over an abyss.
What is valuable in a person is that he is a bridge, not a goal.
Being ashamed of your immorality is the first rung of the ladder, at the top of which you will be ashamed of your morality.
Don't be afraid to lose someone. You will not lose the one you need in life. Those who are sent to you for experience are lost. Those who are sent to you by fate remain.
Whoever wants to learn to fly must first learn to stand, and walk, and run, and climb, and dance: you cannot learn to fly right away!
Envious people often condemn what they can't do and criticize those they can never reach.
People who are mistrustful of themselves want to be loved more than to love, so that one day, at least for a moment, they will be able to believe in themselves.
People are not equal. And they don't have to be equal! What would my love for the Superman be if I spoke differently?
People freely lie with their mouths, but the mug still tells the truth ...
As there are no fish without bones, so there are no people without flaws.
Dostoevsky is the only psychologist from whom I could learn something.
The surest way to anger people and inspire them with evil thoughts is to make them wait a long time.
Very lonely and the noise becomes a consolation.
He who is attacked by his time is not yet sufficiently ahead of him - or behind him. Beware of the little people! Before you, they feel insignificant, and their baseness smolders and flares up into invisible revenge.
They don’t plan friendship, they don’t shout about love, they don’t prove the truth.
Marriage is the most insane form of sexuality.
This is interesting:
Nietzsche's irrational theory has its roots, and the denial of the limits of human consciousness is quite justified. The philosopher spent the last 11 years in a lunatic asylum, where he wrote his compositions. In philosophical treatises, Nietzsche poured out his grievances and regrets, expressed life principles. He admitted that he had an intimate relationship with his sister, later the author's revelations were transferred to the book "My Sister and I."
Who is not capable of either love or friendship, he most likely stakes - on marriage.
You enter into marriage: see that it does not become a conclusion for you! You are in too much of a hurry when concluding a marriage, and here is the consequence - the dissolution of the marriage bond!
Marriage: this is what I call the will of two to create one, greater than those who created it. Marriage is mutual respect and respect for this will.
What is done for the sake of love happens outside the realm of good and evil.
Love your neighbors as well as yourself - but first become those who love themselves - love with great love, love with great contempt!
There are two ways to save you from suffering: quick death and lasting love.
The freer and stronger the individual, the more demanding his love becomes. For too long a slave and a tyrant lurked in a woman. Therefore, she is incapable of friendship: she knows only love.
The freer and stronger the individual, the more demanding his love becomes.
Not through mutual love does the misfortune of unrequited love end, but through great love.
Two things a real man wants: danger and play. And because he is looking for a woman, as the most dangerous toy.
The happiness of a man is called: I want. A woman's happiness is called: he wants.
A woman knows little about honor. May it become her honor to love always stronger than they love her, and never be second in love.
A woman understands children better than a man, but a man has more children than a woman.
Who does a woman hate the most? Iron said to the magnet: "Most of all I hate you because you attract, not having enough strength to drag you along."
A man should beware of a woman when she loves: for then she is ready for any sacrifice, and everything else has no value in her eyes.
A man is a danger and a game. Therefore, he needs a woman, for she is a dangerous toy.
Motherhood is worthy of respect. The father is always just an accident.
Do you know?
During his lifetime, the thinker was practically not supported, but after his death, his works became widespread. Few people know that it was Nietzsche's philosophical thoughts that inspired Hitler to fight for the German Reich.
A man should beware of a woman when she hates: for in the depths of his soul he is only angry, but she is filthy.
You go to a woman - take a whip.In vengeance and love, a woman is more barbarian than a man.
Two things a real man wants: danger and play. That is why he needs a woman - as the most dangerous toy.
Science stung the modesty of all real women. At the same time, they feel as if they looked under the skin or, even worse, under the dress and headdress.
In women themselves, in the depths of their personal vanity, there always lies an impersonal contempt - contempt "for a woman."
A woman learns to hate to the extent that she unlearns to charm. To seduce one's neighbor to a good opinion of her and then with all one's heart to believe this opinion of one's neighbor - who can compare with women in this trick!
A woman begins to lose her shame, she unlearns to be afraid of a man.
Women are more sensual than men, but they are less aware of their sensuality.
A woman feels the love of a man, but does not understand it.
Women are deprived of childishness by the fact that they are constantly fiddling with children, as their educators.
Everything in a woman is a mystery, and everything in a woman has one clue: it is called pregnancy.
A man must be brought up for war, and a woman for the rest of a warrior; everything else is nonsense.
From the military school of life. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger.
F. Nietzsche “Twilight of idols, or how people philosophize with a hammer”, 1888. Chapter “Sayings and arrows”
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger (parable)
A young man lived in a village. And he was in love, strongly and unrequitedly, with the first beauty in the whole district. The girl owned the hearts of almost all the boys in the area and was very proud of her attractiveness.
And then the young man decided to become a warrior, strong, courageous. And seeing a mighty fighter, in uniform, with awards, the girl will become his wife.
And he went to the city, to the soldier's service. He made his way to the officers, distinguished himself in battles, matured and returned as a hero to his native village. But she didn't even look at him. However, she never chose her betrothed.
Then the young man decided to become rich, then the girl would definitely not resist expensive gifts. He entered the service of a merchant as a bodyguard, studied with him. And soon he opened his own business, became rich and returned to his native village as a respected merchant. But the girl indifferently accepted his gifts, only showed even more generous offerings from other applicants for her hand.
And then the man decided to gain wisdom. He left all his wealth to his family and went around the world to look for the mind. He returned a few years later to his native village, reputed to be a wise man. But he did not go to the beauties, but began to live in peace, sharing his wisdom with others.
Time passed, the girl never married, considering all proposals unworthy of her beauty. But the flow of days is relentless and each reflected the flowing attractiveness of a woman. And no one wanted to take her as a wife, exorbitant pride and arrogance scared people away.
Left alone, a woman came to the sage and asked if he wanted to take her as his wife. And the sage agreed.
People were indignant: why do you marry a grumpy old woman who has done you so much harm?
The sage smiled: I see only goodness - if not for her, I would never have become what I am now.
Tests are more difficult with each, and after passing each of them, a person becomes, as it were, an order of magnitude higher, the most important thing for himself.
But there is also a minus, becoming stronger, the majority becomes colder, more bitter and callous. So you never know what you will find, what you will lose ...
Every year a person has less and less reason to worry, all fears are left behind. And when you look at those who are afraid of what you were afraid of, you begin to understand the meaning of the statement.
Uncertainty breeds uncertainty and fear, fear takes away strength and spoils life. More than once I had to hear it both in my address and express it myself ...

Friedrich Nietzsche was not a professional philosopher - rather, a thinker, poet, philologist. There was practically no logic in his approach - there was only the passion of real creativity.
Nietzsche never called for pushing the weak, moreover, the theory of the superman meant not the triumph of one over the other, but the victory of creativity over the destructive animal. In fact, Nietzsche completely denied aggression. In his view, man could only overcome himself.

When I met Sandra ten years ago, she was full of vitality. A charming smart girl, she easily walked through life. Sandra got married, well, tax inspector, think about it.
Two years later, she was diagnosed with type 5 breast cancer, the worst type of breast cancer. She was treated, her husband began an affair on the side. Sandra fell into depression As a result, she still hasn't been able to keep a job for more than six months. Sandra today is a pale shadow of her former self. I recently met her. She is divorced and lives alone. “I was so close to death. But you know what doesn't kill me makes me stronger." Never before has this saying seemed so false to me.
Martin is an entrepreneur. He makes laptop bags. Five years after the founding of the company, all his plans were destroyed by a competitor, who poached all his customers from him. The products were the same, but the competitor's marketing strategy was an order of magnitude better. Martin had to lay off almost all the employees. The bank closed the production loan. He was only able to pay the interest because it was a private debt. The company was on the verge of bankruptcy. Today, Martin is back at the start of his entrepreneurial journey. Hardened in a crisis?
« What doesn't kill me makes me stronger". The saying belongs to Nietzsche. It lies. The crisis of the company does not make it stronger, it weakens it: customers leave. The media publishes scathing comments. The best employees are leaving. Cash is running out. Loans are getting more expensive. Management is horrified and hurries to say goodbye. And we all continue to find positive moments in this.
Why crisis is not always an opportunity
Where do these illusions come from? Try to think in terms of probabilities. To the one who could survive the crisis, it was just luck. Let's say 1,000 laptop bag manufacturers are hit by a major economic downturn, and we decide to follow their fate. What would the statistical distribution look like? Most have gone bankrupt, some are back to nearly pre-crisis levels, and only a very few have done just that. From the point of view of the survivors of the economic collapse, the crisis makes a person stronger. But this is an optical illusion. In general, a crisis is a crisis, and even more so there is no general strengthening component in it. The fact that the company could not survive the crisis is easily and quickly forgotten.
A friend was in a motorcycle accident. Did his clash make him stronger? He learned how dangerous riding a motorcycle was and sold it. He should just read the statistics, and not rush into the arms of death. Many people say: "The crisis helped me to become better, now I live in a completely different way." Well, fine, but the same conclusion could have been reached before the incident. Gaining experience through accidents, illnesses or failures is a tragic and, sorry, stupid way.. If today's way of life has any meaning, then it must have been present in pre-crisis life as well. Did the person not realize this? This is just laziness of the soul or inconsistency.
To believe that the terrible helps us to improve is an illusion.. The disease - by the way, the experience of an extremely dubious quality - leaves marks on the body. The body does not become healthier than it was before the illness. The same is true in case of an accident or a burn. And how many soldiers returned from the war “strengthened”?
Are Fukushima or Hurricane Katrina survivors “stronger” in the face of the future? They have become more experienced. But instead of taking comfort in the fact that during the next hurricane this experience will be beneficial, it would be wiser to simply leave the dangerous area.
Conclusion: IfThe CEO says that the crisis has helped strengthen the company, this is a signal to take a closer look at the situation inside it. Everything can turn out exactly the opposite. As for Sandra, I did not deprive her of the illusion. She gives her a life that is sweeter than the truth.
