Friedrich Nietzsche Resistance Quotations

Happiness is the feeling that power increases - that resistance is being overcome.

The charm of the Platonic mode of thought ... consisted precisely in the resistance to the obvious evidence of the senses.

The will to power can express itself only against resistances; it seeks that which resists it--this is the native tendency of theamoeba when it extends its pseudopodia and gropes around.

Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.

Faith is the path of least resistance.

The highest type of free men should be sought where the highest resistance is constantly overcome: five steps from tyranny, close to the threshold of the danger of servitude.
