It is equally fatal for the spirit to have a system and to have none. One must thus decide to join the two. - Friedrich Schlegel

"It is true that the Indian is almost entirely a philosophical or rather a religious language, and perhaps none, not even excepting the Greek, is so philosophically clear and sharply defined: It has no variable or arbitrary combination of abstractions, but is formed on It permanent system, in which the deep symbolic signification of words and expressions reciprocally explain, elucidate, and support each other.

Whoever does not philosophize for the sake of philosophy, but rather uses philosophy as a means, is a sophist.

Was sich thun lässt, so lange Philosophie und Poesie getrennt sind, ist gethan und vollendet. Also ist die Zeit nun da, beyde zu vereinigen.
