Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher known for his radical critique of traditional values and religion. Famous for declaring “God is dead,” Nietzsche challenged established norms through works like “Thus Spoke Zarathustra” and “Beyond Good and Evil.” His philosophy, which includes concepts such as the “will to power” and eternal recurrence, remains influential despite the misappropriation of his ideas by later ideologies. His concepts of the “will to power” and eternal recurrence have left a lasting impact on philosophy and literature. In this article, we share some of his most compelling and thought-provoking quotes.
