Friedrich Nietzsche Talent Quotations

Some people appear to be more meager in talent than they are, just because the tasks they set themselves are always too great.

Having a talent is not enough: one must also have your permission to have it--right, my friends?

What a person is begins to betray itself when his talent weakens--when he stops showing what he can do. Talent, too, is ornamentation, and ornamentation, too, is a hiding place.

Every talent must unfold itself in fighting.

It is possible that the production of genius is reserved to a limited period of mankind's history.

What someone is, begins to be revealed when his talent abates, when he stops showing us what he can do.
