More quotes by Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Each departed friend is a magnet that attracts us to the next world.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul
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
In women everything is heart, even the head.
Jean Paul
Every man regards his own life as the New Year's Eve of time.
Jean Paul
Remembrances last longer than present realities.
Jean Paul
feelings of man are always pure and the brightest to the meeting time and Farewell.
