“Knowledge is only one half. Faith is the other.”

“Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.”

“Philosophy is properly home-sickness the wish to be everywhere at home.”

“Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment.”

“Nature is a petrified magic city.”

“Poetry heals the wounds inflicted by reason.”

“To become properly acquainted with a truth, we must first have disbelieved it, and disputed against it.”
