More quotes by Christian Morgenstern
You are not at home where your residence are but where you are understood.
Christian Morgenstern
To me, the term 'middle-class' connotes a safe, comfortable, middle-of-the road policy. Above all, our language is 'middle-class' in the middle of our road. To drive it to one side or the other or even off the road, is the noblest task of the future.
Christian Morgenstern
My method is to find a word with a gesture.
Christian Morgenstern
Home isn't where our house is, but wherever we are understood.
Christian Morgenstern
Humor is the contemplation of the finite from the point of view of the infinite.
Christian Morgenstern

Christian Morgenstern
Chess truly uncovers whether or not someone has imagination and takes initiative.
Christian Morgenstern

Christian Morgenstern
If I did not love what is present, if I could not cling to this enormous, safe parachute, I would long since have fallen into the abyss.
Christian Morgenstern

Christian Morgenstern
Often I am struck in amazement about a word: I suddenly realize that the complete arbitrariness of our language is but a part of the arbitrariness of our own world in general.
Christian Morgenstern
