Many counterrevolutionary books have been written in favor of the Revolution. But Burke has written a revolutionary book against the Revolution. - Novalis

There is, properly speaking, no Misfortune in the world. Happiness and Misfortune stand in continual balance. Every Misfortune is, as it were, the obstruction of a stream, which, after overcoming this obstruction, but bursts through with the greater force.

Many things are too delicate to be thought, much less spoken of in words.

If the world is a precipitation of human nature, so to speak, then the divine world is a sublimation of the same. Both occur in one act. No precipitation without sublimation. What goes lost there in agility, is won here.
