1.** Nietzsche's philosophy is not a destruction, but a transfiguration: a change of perspective that turns values upside down.

2.** In Nietzsche, God is dead not as a metaphysical fact but as a psychological and existential one: the highest value has devalued itself.

3.** Eternal recurrence—far from being a mere concept of time—is the very heart of Nietzsche's affirmation of life.

4.** Nietzsche's gaze is not turned backward, nostalgically, but forward: toward a future that can be radically new only if we first shatter the old idols.

5.** The will to power does not signify a lust for domination but rather an intra-worldly dynamics that constantly reshapes reality.

6.** Perspective is everything: there are no facts, only interpretations—and Nietzsche invites us to reinterpret the world.

7.** Nihilism is not the endpoint but a necessary step on the way to revaluation: a purgatory that prepares the ground for a new beginning.

8.** Nietzsche's writing is an art of war against received ideas, a creative destruction waged with words.

9.** The Overman is not a superman but a surpassing of the man: an ideal type who transcends rather than escapes humanity.

10.** Nietzsche's thought is a perpetual motion machine of critique and creativity, seeking to set the world in motion once again.

11.** Truth is a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, and anthropomorphisms—it is language that conquers, not facts.

12.** Nietzsche's laughter is not the gaiety of light-heartedness but the jubilation of a thinker who sees through the illusions of millennia.

13.** The ascetic ideal is not an exception but the rule of Western culture: Nietzsche sets out to invert it, not merely oppose it.

14.** What does not kill me makes me stronger: this is not just a maxim but a manifesto for a life lived in defiance of resignation.

15.** The death of God heralds not the end of meaning but the birth of infinite possibilities: a universe unburdened by transcendent purposes.

16.** Nietzsche's philosophy is a call to arms, not for conquest but for self-overcoming: a personal and collective effort to reshape our destiny.

17.** Amor fati is not a passive acceptance of fate but an active embrace of life's contingencies, an exultation in the face of the unavoidable.

18.** In Nietzsche, knowledge is not a refuge but a bridge: it leads not away from life's tumult but into its very heart.

19.** The eternal return of the same is not a cosmic principle but an existential choice: to love the world so much that even a single moment of it would suffice.

20.** Nietzsche's legacy is not a system to be studied but a provocation to be lived: an invitation to think beyond the boundaries of what has been thought before.
