“The melancholy of everything completed!”

“My melancholy wants to rest in the hiding places and abysses of perfection: that is why I need music.”

“Human existence basically is──a never to be completed imperfect tense.”

“Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. Everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same House of Being is built. Everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. In every Now, being begins; round every Here rolls the sphere There. The center is everywhere. Bent is the path of eternity.”

“Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.”

“Everything in proximity to the hero becomes tragedy; everything in proximity to the demigod becomes satyr-play; and everything in proximity to God becomes...what? "world" perhaps?”

“The complete irresponsibility of man for his actions and his nature is the bitterest drop which he who understands must swallow.”
