Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
  • Kant introduced the concept of the negative into philosophy. Would it not also be worthwhile to try to introduce the concept of the positive into philosophy?

  • Religion must completely encircle the spirit of ethical man like his element, and this luminous chaos of divine thoughts and feelings is called enthusiasm.

  • Religion can emerge in all forms of feeling: here wild anger, there the sweetest pain here consuming hatred, there the childlike smile of serene humility.

  • Plato's philosophy is a dignified preface to future religion.

  • He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.
