Friedrich Nietzsche Innocence Quotations

There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.

Of what is great one must either be silent or speak with greatness. With greatness--that means cynically and with innocence.

Great things demand that we either remain silent about them or speak in a great manner: in a great manner, that is-cynically and with innocence.

Enjoyment and innocence are the most bashful things: both do not want to be sought.

For let us not underestimate the Christian: the Christian, false to the point of innocence, is far above the ape-regarding Christians, a well known theory of descent becomes a mere compliment.
