Friedrich Schiller
Secrecy is for the happy,--misery, hopeless misery, needs no veil under a thousand suns it dares act openly.
Friedrich Schiller
No doubt the artist is the child of his time but woe to him if he is also its disciple, or even its favorite.
Friedrich Schiller
Eternity gives nothing back of what one leaves out of the minutes.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
The May of life blooms once and never again.
Friedrich Schiller
