Friedrich Schiller
I have enjoyed the happiness of the world I have loved.
Friedrich Schiller
Far must thy researches go Wouldst thou learn the world to know Thou must tempt the dark abyss Wouldst thou prove what Being is Naught but firmness gains the prize, Naught but fullness makes us wise, Buried deep truth e'er lies.
Friedrich Schiller
When the gods were more manlike, Men were more godlike.
Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller

Friedrich Schiller
Art is the daughter of freedom.
Friedrich Schiller
