  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #5

    Curious,' the Prince continued, after a deep silence, 'is it possible never to have known something, never to have missed it in its absence -- and a few moments later to live in and for that single experience alone? Can a single moment make a man so different from himself? It would be just as impossible for me to return to the joys and wishes of yesterday morning as it would for me to return to the games of childhood, now that I have seen that object, now that her image dwells here -- and I have this living, overpowering feeling within me: from now on you can love nothing other than her, and in this world nothing else will ever have any effect on you.

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #16

    In the case of the creative mind, it seems to me, the intellect has withdrawn its watchers from the gates, and the ideas rush in pell-mell, and only then does it review and inspect the multitude. You worthy critics, or whatever you may call yourselves, are ashamed or afraid of the momentary and passing madness which is found in all real creators, the longer or shorter duration of which distinguishes the thinking artist from the dreamer. Hence your complaints of unfruitfulness, for you reject too soon and discriminate too severely.

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #21

    Lose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #22

    Man is not better treated by nature in his first start than her other works are; so long as he is unable to act for himself as an independent intelligence she acts for him. But the very fact that constitutes him a man is that he does not remain stationary, where nature has placed him, that he can pass with his reason, retracing the steps nature had made him anticipate, that he can convert the work of necessity into one of free solution, and elevate physical necessity into a moral law.

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #23

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #24

    Mit der Dummheit kämpfen Götter selbst vergebens.

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #25

    Nicht an die Güter hänge dein Herz,
    Die das Leben vergänglich zieren!
    Wer besitzt, der lerne verlieren,
    Wer im Glück ist, der lerne den Schmerz!

  • Friedrich Schiller Quote #26
