"Delightful book. I'm reading it slowly, I don't think it would do to drink it down, as it consists of lots of little stories and recollections, and a few short teachings." May 17, 2026 04:46AM

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“[D]er Zusammenhang des Unendlichen und des Endlichen ist freilich ein heiliges Geheimnis, weil dieser Zusammenhang das Leben selbst ist; die Reflexion, die das Leben trennt, kann es in Unendliches und Endliches unterscheiden, und nur die Beschränkung, das Endliche für sich betrachtet gibt den Begriff des Menschen als dem Göttlichen entgegengesetzt; außerhalb der Reflexion, in der Wahrheit findet sie nicht statt.”
Hegel Georg Wilhelm Friedrich

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
“The easiest thing of all is to pass judgment on what is substantial and meaningful. It is much more difficult to get a real grip on it, and what is most difficult of all is both to grasp what unites all such things, and to give a full exposition of what that is.”
G. F. W. Hegel

Rainer Maria Rilke
“Durch alle Wesen reicht der eine Raum:
Weltinnenraum. Die Vögel fliegen still
durch uns hindurch. O, der ich wachsen will,
ich seh hinaus, und in mir wächst der Baum.”
Rainer Maria Rilke

Paul Celan
“Sprich -
Doch Scheide das Nein nicht vom Ja.”
Paul Celan

Walter Benjamin
“Schrift ohne den zu ihr gehörigen Schlüssel eben nicht Schrift ist sondern Leben.”
Walter Benjamin
