More quotes by Peter Altenberg
I never dreamed of being Shakespeare or Goethe, and I never expected to hold the great mirror of truth up before the world I dreamed only of being a little pocket mirror, the sort that a woman can carry in her purse one that reflects small blemishes, and some great beauties, when held close enough to the heart.
Peter Altenberg
It is sad to be an exception. But not to be one is even sadder.
Peter Altenberg
God thinks in the geniusses, he dreams in the poets and slumbers in the rest of humanity.
Peter Altenberg
