Laziness Is The One Divine Fragment Of

Through Artists Mankind Becomes An Individual, In That They Unite The Past And The Future In The Present. They Are The Higher Organ Of The Soul, Where The Life Spirits Of Entire External Mankind Meet And In Which Inner Mankind First Acts.

One Can Only Become A Philosopher, But Not Be One. As One Believes He Is A Philosopher, He Stops Being One.

He Who Has Religion Will Speak Poetry. But Philosophy Is The Tool With Which To Seek And Discover Religion.

One Of Two Things Is Usually Lacking In The So-called Philosophy Of Art: Either Philosophy Or Art.

If One Believes Philosophers, Then What We Call Religion Is Only A Deliberately Popularized Or An Instinctively Artless Philosophy. Poets Seem To Consider Religion Rather As A Variation Of Poetry Which By Misjudging Its Proper Beautiful Game Takes Itself Too Seriously And One-sidedly. Philosophy, However, Admits And Recognizes That It Can Begin And Complete Itself Only With Religion. Poetry Seeks Only To Strive For The Infinite And Despises Worldly Utility And Culture, Which Are The True Antitheses Of Religion. Eternal Peace Among Artists Is Thus Not Far Away.
