Jean Paul

Jean Paul
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul
In later life, as in earlier, only a few persons influence the formation of our character the multitude pass us by like a distant army.

Jean Paul
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.
Jean Paul
