Quotes About Nietzsche

That old queer Nietzsche had it right: Christianity was, at the end of the day, a feminine religion.
~ Michel Houellebecq
Lo terrible es hasta qué punto ya no se puede decir nada... Nietzsche, Schopenhauer y Spinoza no serían aceptados hoy. Lo políticamente correcto, con la magnitud que ha adquirido, hace inaceptable casi toda la filosofía occidental. Hay cada vez más cosas sobre las que es imposible pensar. Es aterrador.
~ Michel Houellebecq
Nietzsche avait vu juste, avec son flair de vieille pétasse, le christianisme était au fond une religion féminine.
~ Michel Houellebecq
seguramente el amor, igual que la piedad según Nietzsche, nunca había sido otra cosa que una ficción inventada por los débiles para culpabilizar a los fuertes, para imponer límites a su libertad y su ferocidad naturales.

Every philosophy is the philosophy of a stage of life, Nietzsche remarked.
~ Neil Postman
Abrahamic tradition under nihilistic direction might not be what anyone wants, but it's what we have. Accelerating iconoclasm turns the world onto The Nothing. Nietzsche was right to interpret the only global history as this. There is no way out of it because it is itself the ultimate outside.
~ Unknown
Reading Nietzsche as a response is not understanding him. Nietzsche is an immense interrogation.
~ Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Authentic atheism is a blank page; Gnostic atheism hides a text written in invisible ink. The Übermensch is the recourse of a nonconformist atheism. Nietzsche invents a human consolation for the death of God; Gnostic atheism, on the other hand, proclaims the divinity of man.
~ Nicolás Gómez Dávila
Die Christen Nietzsches sind nicht die von gestern, sondern die von heute. Kein exakter Historiker, aber vielleicht ein Prophet.

~ Oswald Spengler
It is the same creative will-to-life that was brilliantly and theatrically formulated by Nietzsche in 'Zarathustra'; that led the Hegelian Marx to an economic and the Malthusian Darwin to a biological hypothesis which, together, have subtly transformed the world-outlook of the Western megalopolis.
~ Oswald Spengler
It is one of the greatest achievements of Nietzsche that he confronted science with the problem of the value of truth and knowledge… Descartes meant to doubt everything, but certainly not the value of his doubting.
~ Oswald Spengler
