He who does not become familiar with nature through love will never know her.
From Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Eternal life and the invisible world are only to be sought in God. Only within Him do all spirits dwell. He is an abyss of individuality, the only infinite plenitude.
Religion can emerge in all forms of feeling: here wild anger, there the sweetest pain; here consuming hatred, there the childlike smile of serene humility.
Man is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.
Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.
A priest is he who lives solely in the realm of the invisible, for whom all that is visible has only the truth of an allegory.
An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.
One can only become a philosopher, but not be one. As one believes he is a philosopher, he stops being one.
Think of something finite molded into the infinite, and you think of man.
A so-called happy marriage corresponds to love as a correct poem to an improvised song.
