More quotes by Georg Buchner
Revolution is like the daughters of Pelias: it cuts humanity to pieces in order to rejuvenate it.
Georg Buchner

Georg Buchner
Only one thing abides: an infinite beauty that passes from form to form, eternally changed and revealed afresh.
Georg Buchner
The statue of Freedom has not been cast yet, the furnace is hot, we can all still burn our fingers.
Georg Buchner
Death is the most blessed dream.
Georg Buchner
Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave.
Georg Buchner

Georg Buchner

The strides of humanity are slow, they can only be counted in centuries.
Georg Buchner
Love is a peculiar thing.
Georg Buchner
And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much.
Georg Buchner
