Egon Friedell
Image
All knowing that goes beyond the immediate experience of the moment is a matter of faith.
Egon Friedell
Image
The highest, the only reality, is ever at hand, but for the most part invisible. Genius makes it visible.
Egon Friedell
Image

Egon Friedell
Image
God does not rule the world outwardly by gravitation and chemical affinity, but inwardly in the heart of man: as is your soul, so will the destiny be of the world in which you live and do.
Egon Friedell
