Friedrich Nietzsche Quotes

Became the most misquoted philosopher in history

Nietzsche died on August 25, 1900, at fifty-five. His sister Elisabeth edited his unpublished notebooks into a book called The Will to Power and aligned his ideas with German nationalism and eventually Nazism, distortions he would have rejected with fury. After the war, scholars recovered his actual work. Today he is considered one of the most influential philosophers of the modern era. His ideas about morality, power, and self-overcoming shaped existentialism, psychology, and literature across the twentieth century.
