Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
  • Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher.

  • Nothing truly convincing - which would possess thoroughness, vigor, and skill - has been written against the ancients as yet especially not against their poetry.

  • Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.

  • 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.

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