All FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE Quotes about “Water”

“It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters.”
“They muddy the water, to make it seem deep.”
“The happiness of man is: I will. The happiness of woman is: he wills. â€˜Behold, just now the world became perfect!â€™â€”thus thinks every woman when she obeys out of entire love. And women must obey and find a depth for her surface. Surface is the disposition of woman: a mobile, stormy film over shallow water. Manâ€™s disposition, however, is deep; his river roars in subterranean caves: woman feels his strength but does not comprehend it.”
“In the stream.- Mighty waters draw much stone and rubble along with them; mighty spirits many stupid and bewildered heads.”
“It is with artworks as it is with wine: it is much better when we do not need either one, when we stick with water, and when out of our own inner fire, the inner sweetness of our own soul, we turn the water over and over again into wine ourselves.”
“The public easily confuses him who fishes in troubled waters with him who draws up water from the depths.”
“Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.”
“We are doubly willing to jump into the water after some one who has fallen in, if there are people present who have not the courage to do so.”
