Ah! The seasons of love roll not backward but onward, downward forever.
Jean Paul
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

Jean Paul

Jean Paul
The romance of life begins and ends with two blank pages. Age and extreme old age.
Jean Paul

Jean Paul
Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
Jean Paul
With so many thousand joys, is it not black ingratitude to call the world a place of sorrow and torment?
Jean Paul
The look of a king is itself a deed.
Jean Paul
As winter strips the leaves from around us, so that we may see the distant regions they formerly concealed, so old age takes away our enjoyments only to enlarge the prospect of the coming eternity.
Jean Paul
Because the heart beats under a covering of hair, of fur, feathers, or wings, it is, for that reason, to be of no account?
Jean Paul
