Additional quotes by Friedrich Schlegel

Wie die Senatoren der Römer sind die wahren Künstler ein Volk von Königen.

Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.

Prudishness is pretense of innocence without innocence. Women have to remain prudish as long as men are sentimental, dense, and evil enough to demand of them eternal innocence and lack of education. For innocence is the only thing which can ennoble lack of education.
