“I love those who do not know how to live for today.”
“Wherever primitive man put up a word, he believed he had made a discovery. How utterly mistaken he really was! He had touched a problem, and while supposing he had solved it, he had created and obstacle to its solution. Now, with every new knowledge we stumble over flint-like and petrified words and, in so doing, break a leg sooner than a word.”
“For it is only as an aesthetic phenomenon that existence and the world are eternally justified.”
