Wit as an instrument of revenge is as infamous as art is as a means of sensual titillation.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Nothing is more witty and grotesque than ancient mythology and Christianity; that is because they are so mystical.

Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
One has only as much morality as one has philosophy and poetry.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Wit is the appearance, the external flash of imagination. Thus its divinity, and the witty character of mysticism.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Women are treated as unjustly in poetry as in life. The feminine ones are not idealistic, and the idealistic not feminine.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
The subject of history is the gradual realization of all that is practically necessary.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
The German national character is a favorite subject of character experts, probably because the less mature a nation, the more she is an object of criticism and not of history.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
About no subject is there less philosophizing than about philosophy.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Like Leibniz's possible worlds, most men are only equally entitled pretenders to existence. There are few existences.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Whoever does not philosophize for the sake of philosophy, but rather uses philosophy as a means, is a sophist.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
He who does not become familiar with nature through love will never know her.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
An artist is he for whom the goal and center of life is to form his mind.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
There is no self-knowledge but an historical one. No one knows what he himself is who does not know his fellow men, especially the most prominent one of the community, the master's master, the genius of the age.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Think of something finite molded into the infinite, and you think of man.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
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.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
The genuine priest always feels something higher than compassion.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Many works of the ancients have become fragments. Many works of the moderns are fragments at the time of their origin.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
There are writers in Germany who drink the Absolute like water; and there are books in which even the dogs make references to the Infinite.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Religion is absolutely unfathomable. Always and everywhere one can dig more deeply into infinities.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
A critic is a reader who ruminates. Thus, he should have more than one stomach.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Women do not have as great a need for poetry because their own essence is poetry.
Quote by -Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
