Friedrich Schiller
Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Friedrich Schiller

The sun poursforth impartially his beams through all the regions of infinity heaven bestows the dew equally on every thirsty plant. Whatever is good and comes from on high is universal and without reserve: but in the heart's recesses darkness dwells.
Friedrich Schiller
Against stupidity the very gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrich Schiller
It is only through the morning gate of the beautiful that you can penetrate into the realm of knowledge. That which we feel here as beauty we shall one day know as truth.
Friedrich Schiller
