These curls that I stroke with my hand
Aren't the first that I've stroked, and I
Knew lips that were darker than yours.”

“1.
Women do not have as great a need for poetry because their own essence is poetry.
2.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
3.
Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher.
4.
If you want to see mankind fully, look at a family. Within the family minds become organically one, and for this reason the family is total poetry.
5.
Considered subjectively, philosophy always begins in the middle, like an epic poem.
6.
Duty is for Kant the One and All. Out of the duty of gratitude, he claims, one has to defend and esteem the ancients; and only out of duty has he become a great man.
7.
Nothing truly convincing - which would possess thoroughness, vigor, and skill - has been written against the ancients as yet; especially not against their poetry.
8.
The genuine priest always feels something higher than compassion.
9.
Man is a creative retrospection of nature upon itself.
In the world of language, or in other words in the world of art and liberal education, religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.”
