With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?
Jean Paul
Image
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.

Image
Every friend is to the other a sun, and a sunflower also. He attracts and follows.
Jean Paul
Image
Sorrows gather around great souls as storms do around mountains but, like them, they break the storm and purify the air of the plain beneath them.
Jean Paul

Image
Poverty is the only load which is the heavier the more loved ones there are to assist in bearing it.
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
Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life.
Jean Paul
Image
Memory, wit, fancy, acuteness, cannot grow young again in old age, but the heart can.
Jean Paul
Image
No heroine can create a hero through love of one, but she can give birth to one
Jean Paul
Image
Romanticism is beauty without bounds-the beautiful infinite.
Jean Paul
Image
Art is indeed not the bread but the wine of life.
Jean Paul
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.
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.
