Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul

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.

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. One friend, one teacher, one beloved, one club, one dining table, one work table are the means by which one's nation and the spirit of one's nation affect the individual.
Jean Paul
Image
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.

Image
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
Image
Variety of mere nothings gives more pleasure than uniformity of something.

If self-knowledge is the road to virtue, so is virtue still more the road to self-knowledge.
