Friedrich Nietzsche Thoughtful Quotations

The thought is merely a sign, as the word is merely a sign for the thought.

We cannot even reproduce our thoughts entirely in words.

Those with very loud voices in their throats are nearly incapable of thinking subtle thoughts.

To one who is accustomed to thinking a lot, every new thought that he hears or reads about immediately appears as a link in a chain.

What verse is for the poet, dialectical thinking is for the philosopher. He grasps for it in order to get hold of his own enchantment, in order to perpetuate it.

We do not belong to those who only get their thought from books, or at the prompting of books, -- it is our custom to think in the open air, walking, leaping, climbing, or dancing on lonesome mountains by preference, or close to the sea, where even the paths become thoughtful.
