In women everything is heart, even the head.
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.

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
Age doesn't matter, unless your cheese.
Jean Paul
Image
The heart needs not for its heaven much space, nor many stars therein, if only the star of love has arisen.
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
A sky full of silent suns.
Jean Paul
Image
Paradise is always where love dwells.
Jean Paul
