When reason and unreason come into contact, an electrical shock occurs. This is called polemics.
From Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Mysteries are feminine; they like to veil themselves but still want to be seen and divined.
Many a witty inspiration is like the surprising reunion of befriended thoughts after a long separation.
Irony is a clear consciousness of an eternal agility, of the infinitely abundant chaos.
An artist is he for whom the goal and center of life is to form his mind.
Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.
Where there is politics or economics, there is no morality.
Every good man progressively becomes God. To become God, to be man, and to educate oneself, are expressions that are synonymous.
What is lost in the good or excellent translation is precisely the best.
Wit as an instrument of revenge is as infamous as art is as a means of sensual titillation.
