The farther reason looks the greater is the haze in which it loses itself.
From Johann Georg Hamann
Not only the entire ability to think rests on language... but language is also the crux of the misunderstanding of reason with itself.
Nature is a book, a letter, a fairy tale (in the philosophical sense) or whatever you want to call it.
The weakness of ourselves and of our reason makes us see flaws in beauties by making us consider everything piece by piece.
Poetry is the mother-tongue of the human race.
The thirst for vengeance was the beautiful nature which Homer imitated.
Everything is vain and tortures the spirit instead of calming and satisfying it.
Everything the human being heard from the beginning, saw with its eyes, looked upon and touched with its hands was a living word; for God was the word.
Thus the public use of reason and freedom is nothing but a dessert, a sumptuous dessert.
All human wisdom works and has worries and grief as reward.
