"We should not complain about those who conduct themselves badly. Instead, we should try to understand them."

"The most common form of human stupidity is forgetting what one is trying to accomplish."

"Dance as if no one is watching. Love as if it's all you have. Work as if you don't need the money."

"I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

"Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live."

"The snake which cannot cast its skin has to die."

"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to prevent one's windows from being broken; but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny."

"I teach you the Overman. Man is something that is to be surpassed."

"There are no facts, only interpretations."

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe."

"One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star."

"The best way to revenge yourself is to live well."

"In the end one loves one's desire and not what is desired."

"A man may cause evil to others not only by his actions but by his inactions, and in either case he is justly accountable to them."

"The individual is the center of all knowledge, and the rest of the universe must revolve around him accordingly."

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."

"Become who you are."

"When you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."

"Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies."

"I would believe only in a God that could dance."

"That which is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil."

"The aesthetics of appearance: to look good is the best revenge."

"Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?"

"Whoever fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster."
