Questions of 

Nietzsche actually was a profoundly positive thinker, concerned above all to discover a way beyond the nihilistic reaction he believed to be the inevitable consequence of the impending collapse of traditional values and modes of interpretation, to a new 'affirmation' and 'enhancement' of life. His critical fire was only a means to this end, preliminary to the twin philosophical tasks of reinterpretation and revaluation he advocated and pursued with growing explicitness and determination from The Gay Science onward.

Quotations

''Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.''
[Beyond Good and Evil]

''Distrust everyone in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!''
[Thus Spake Zarathustra]

 
''Great indebtedness does not make men grateful, but vengeful; and if a little charity is not forgotten, it turns into a gnawing worm.''
[Thus Spake Zarathustra]

''Hubris is today our entire attitude towards nature, our rape of nature with the help of machines.''
[The Genealogy of Morals]

''I teach you the Overman. Man is something which shall be surpassed.''
[Thus Spake Zarathustra]

''Let us beware of saying that death is the opposite of life. The living being is only a species of the dead, and a very rare species.''
[The Gay Science]

''Morality in Europe today is herd animal morality - in other words, as we understand it, merely one type of human morality besides which, before which, and after which many other types, above all higher moralities, are, or ought to be, possible.''
[Beyond Good and Evil]

''Twice, when an honest, unequivocal, perfectly scientific way of thinking had been attained with tremendous fortitude and self-overcoming, the Germans managed to find devious paths to the old 'ideal' -- at bottom, formulas for a right to repudiate science, a right to lie. Leibniz and Kant - these two greatest brake shoes of intellectual integrity in Europe''
[Ecce Homo]
