More quotes by Jean Paul

Image
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul
Image
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul
Image
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul
Image
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
Image
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
Jean Paul
Image
Only deeds give strength to life, only moderation gives it charm.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows are like thunderclouds, in the distance they look black, over our heads scarcely gray.
Jean Paul
Image
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
Image
Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out.
Jean Paul
Image
He thought of the mouldering child, which laid its withered thin arms around his soul, as if it were his own, and to whom Death had given as much as a god gave to Endymion, — sleep, eternal youth, and immortality.
Jean Paul
Image
The happiness of life consists, like the day, not in single flashes (of light), but in one continuous mild serenity. The most beautiful period of the heart's existence is in this calm equable light, even although it be only moonshine or twilight. Now the mind alone can obtain for us this heavenly cheerfulness and peace.
Jean Paul
Image
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
Image
I would rather dwell in the dim fog of superstition than in air rarefied to nothing by the air-pump of unbelief-in which the panting breast expires, vainly and convulsively gasping for breath.
Jean Paul
Image
The gymnasium of running, walking on stilts, climbing, etc. stells and makes hardy single powers and muscles, but dancing, like a corporeal poesy, embellishes, exercises, and equalizes all the muscles at once.
Jean Paul
Image
Like the greatest virtue and the worst dogs, the fiercest hatred is silent.
Jean Paul
Image
If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.
Jean Paul
Image
People will not bear it when advice is violently given, even if it is well founded. Hearts are flowers they remain open to the softly falling dew, but shut up in the violent downpour of rain.
Jean Paul
Image
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
Jean Paul
Image
Courage consists not in blindly overlooking danger, but in seeing it, and conquering it.
Jean Paul
Image
Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
