Friedrich Nietzsche Fly Quotations

Man alone resists the direction of gravitation: he constantly wants to fall--upwards.

How do you expect to learn to dance when you have not even learned to walk! And above the dancer is still the flyer and his bliss.

We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are.

You cannot learn to fly by flying. First you must learn to walk, to run, to climb, to dance.

The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

Forgetting: that is a divine capacity. And whoever aspires to the heights and wants to fly must cast off much that is heavy and make himself light--I call it a divine capacity for lightness.
