Additional quotes by Jean Paul

Rough and dark is often the veil of the soul, while within, so pure and transparent. Like the grey crust upon ice, that, when severed, reveals within a pure blue light, like the transparent ether. Thus remain veiled to the stranger, but be not concealed from thyself.

The miracles of earth are the laws of heaven.

Die Erinnerung ist das einzige Paradies, aus welchem wir nicht getrieben werden können.
