Image
The burden of suffering seems a tombstone hung about our necks, while in reality it is only the weight which is necessary to keep down the diver while he is hunting for pearls.

Image
Love lessens woman's delicacy and increases man's.
Jean Paul
Image
Jesus is the purest among the mighty, and the mightiest among the pure, who, with his pierced hand has raised empires from their foundations, turned the stream of history from its old channel, and still continues to rule and guide the ages

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
We learn our virtues from our friends who love us our faults from the enemy who hates us. We cannot easily discover our real character from a friend. He is a mirror, on which the warmth of our breath impedes the clearness of the reflection.
Jean Paul
Image
With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?
Jean Paul
Image
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
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
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
Image
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul
Image
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Image
A variety of nothing is superior to a monotony of something.
Jean Paul
Image
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
