Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel

Where there is politics or economics, there is no morality.

Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.

Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.

The thing about great poetry is we have no defenses against it.

My personal philosophy would be don't whine, don't let opportunities pass you by, be willing to work hard, and remember that you don't know as much as you think you do, ever.

To set up as a standard of public morality a notion which can neither be defined nor conceived is to open the door to every kind of tyranny.
