Nietzsche (15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher, the founder of modern Western philosophy, and a prominent poet and essayist. His writing style is unique, often using techniques of aphorisms and paradoxes. Nietzsche had a great influence on the development of later generations of philosophies, especially in existentialism and postmodernism. His major works include The Birth of Tragedy, An Anachronistic Investigation, So Says Zarathustra, Philosophy in the Age of Greek Tragedy, and On the Genealogy of Morality.
1. People rarely commit frivolity only once. In the first frivolity, people always do too much. Because of this, they often make a second mistake – and now, they do too little...
2. I always wish I didn't know too much. Wisdom also draws a line for knowledge.
3. Do you want to go along? Or first? Or alone? ...... In order to be able to desire something, people must know what they want.
4. You help yourself: everyone will help you. The principle of fraternity.
5. How little is needed for happiness! The sound of a bagpipe – without music, life would be a mistake. The Germans imagined that even God sang.
6. My happiness formula: a "yes", a "no", a straight line, a goal.
7. Anger increases through trauma, vitality increases through trauma.
8. Are you running in front? Did you do this as a shepherd? Or as an exception? The third case is the fugitive ... The first question of conscience.
9. Are you real? Or is it just an actor? Is it a representative? Or is it the thing itself that is represented? In the end, you may be a completely fake actor... The second question of conscience.
10. Are you a bystander? Or a hands-on? - Or is it a evasive who turns his eyes away? ...... The third question of conscience.
11. Military academy from life. What didn't kill me made me stronger.
