  • The rights which a man arrogates to himself are relative to the duties which he sets himself, and to the tasks which he feels capable of performing.

    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (2016). “The Will to Power, Book I to IV: An Attempted Transvaluation of all Values (Complete)”, p.576, Library of Alexandria
  • The rights a man arrogates to himself are related to the duties he imposes on himself, to the tasks to which he feels equal. The great majority of men have no right to existence, but are a misfortune to higher men.

    "The Will to Power". Book by Friedrich Nietzsche, edited by Peter Gast and Elisabeth Nietzsche, Sec. 872 (Notebook W I 1. Spring 1884, KGW VII, 2.97-8, KSA 11.101-2), 1888.
  • One receives as reward for much ennui, despondency, boredom -such as a solitude without friends, books, duties, passions must bring with it -those quarter-hours of profoundest contemplation within oneself and nature. He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself: he will never get to drink the strongest refreshing draught from his own innermost fountain.

  • Curiosity creeps into the houses of the unfortunate and the needy under the name of duty or of pity.

    Friedrich Nietzsche “Writings of Nietzsche: Volume III”, Lulu.com
  • What destroys a man more quickly than to work, think and feel without inner necessity, without any deep personal desire, without pleasure - as a mere automaton of duty?

    Friedrich Nietzsche “Delphi Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche (Illustrated): Friedrich Nietzsche”, Delphi Classics
  • Nobody is so constituted as to be able to live everywhere and anywhere; and he who has great duties to perform, which lay claim toall his strength, has, in this respect, a very limited choice. The influence of climate upon the bodily functionsextends so far, that a blunder in the choice of locality and climate is able not only to alienate a man from his actual duty, but also to withhold it from him altogether, so that he never even comes face to face with it.

  • The wheel and the brake have different duties, but also one in common: to hurt one another.

    Friedrich Nietzsche, R. J. Hollingdale (1996). “Nietzsche: Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits”, p.392, Cambridge University Press
  • All religions bear traces of the fact that they arose during the intellectual immaturity of the human race - before it had learned the obligations to speak the truth. Not one of them makes it the duty of its god to be truthful and understandable in his communications.

    Friedrich Nietzsche (2013). “The Selected Writings of Friedrich Nietzsche”, p.146, Simon and Schuster
  • If we lacked curiosity, we should do less for the good of our neighbor. But, under the name of duty or pity, curiosity steals into the home of the unhappy and the needy. Perhaps even in the famous mother-love there is a good deal of curiosity.

  • Man demands truth and fulfills this demand in moral intercourse with other men; this is the basis of all social life. One anticipates the unpleasant consequences of reciprocal lying. From this there arises the duty of truth. We permit epic poets to lie because we expect no detrimental consequences in this case. Thus the lie is permitted where it is considered something pleasant. Assuming that it does no harm, the lie is beautiful and charming.

  • Live so that thou mayest desire to live again - that is thy duty - for in any case thou wilt live again!

    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1915). “The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsche”
  • No, life has not disappointed me. On the contrary, I find it truer, more desirable and mysterious every year -- ever since the day when the great liberator came to me: the idea that life could be an experiment of the seeker for knowledge -- and not a duty, not a calamity, not trickery.

    Friedrich Nietzsche (2010). “The Gay Science: With a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs”, p.255, Vintage
  • The way to transmute your iron duty into gold in everyone's eyes is this: always deliver more than you promise.

  • The creation of freedom for oneself and a sacred "No" even to duty -- for that, my brothers, the lion is needed.

    Friedrich Nietzsche (1977). “The Portable Nietzsche”, p.92, Penguin
  • It is difficult to preach, this morality of mediocrity! It may never admit what it is and what it wants! It must speak about restraint and worth and duty and love of one's neighbor.

    "Beyond Good and Evil". Book by Friedrich Nietzsche, I. Johnston trans., § 262, 1886.
