Additional quotes by Friedrich Schlegel

Wo Politik ist oder Oekonomie, da ist keine Moral.

Durch die Künstler wird die Menschheit ein Individuum, indem sie Vor welt und Nachwelt in der Gegenwart verknüpfen. Sie sind das höhere Seelenorgan, wo die Lebensgeister der ganzen 15 äussern Menschheit zusammentreffen und in welchem die innere zunächst wirkt.

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

Only he who possesses a personal religion, an original view of infinity, can be an artist. - Friedrich Schlegel
