Ideas Are Infinite, Original, And Lively Divine

The Life And Vigor Of Poetry Consists Of The Fact That It Steps Out Of Itself, Tears Out A Section Of Religion, Then Withdraws Into Itself To Assimilate It. The Same Is True Of Philosophy.

Even A Friendly Conversation Which Cannot Be At Any Given Moment Be Broken Off Voluntarily With Complete Arbitrariness Has Something Illiberal About It. An Artist, However, Who Is Able And Wants To Express Himself Completely, Who Keeps Nothing To Himself And Would Wish To Say Everything He Knows, Is Very Much To Be Pitied.

One Has Only As Much Morality As One Has Philosophy And Poetry.

Poetry And Philosophy Are, According To How You Take Them, Different Spheres, Different Forms, Or Factors Of Religion. Try To Really Combine Both, And You Will Have Nothing But Religion.

Plato's Philosophy Is A Dignified Preface To Future Religion.
