Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes:

Ocupation: Philologist

Life: October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900

Birthday: October 15

Death: August 25

Over immense periods of time the intellect produced nothing but errors. A few of these proved to be useful and helped to preserve the species: those who hit upon or inherited these had better luck in their struggle for themselves and their progeny. Such erroneous articles of faith... include the following: that there are things, substances, bodies; that a thing is what it appears to be; that our will is free; that what is good for me is also good in itself.
