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
Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
Jean Paul
Image
I have made as much out of myself as could be made of the stuff, and no man should require more.
Jean Paul
Image
Humanity is never so beautiful as when praying for forgiveness, or else forgiving another.
Jean Paul
Image
Individuality is to be preserved and respected everywhere, as the root of everything good.
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
I would rather dwell in the dim fog of superstition than in air rarefied to nothing by the air-pump of unbelief-in which the panting breast expires, vainly and convulsively gasping for breath.
Jean Paul

A scholar knows no boredom.
Jean Paul

Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
