Image
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
Image
Man has here two and a half minutes-one to smile, one to sigh, and a half to love: for in the midst of this minute he dies.
Jean Paul
Image
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Image
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
Image
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul
Image
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul
Image
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
