Only He Who Possesses A Personal Religion,

If You Want To Penetrate Into The Heart Of Physics, Then Let Yourself Be Initiated Into The Mysteries Of Poetry.

Whoever Has Not Arrived At The Clear Insight That There Might Be Greatness Entirely Outside His Own Sphere For Which He Has No Understanding, Whoever Does Not Have At Least A Dim Inkling In Which Area Of The Human Spirit This Greatness Might Be Situated: He Is Within His Own Sphere Either Without Genius, Or He Has Not Educated Himself Up To The Point Of The Classical Attitude.

Since Poetry Is Infinitely Valuable, I Do Not Understand Why It Should Be More Valuable Than This Or That Which Is Also Infinitelyvaluable. There Are Artists Who Perhaps Do Not Think Art To Be Too Great, For This Is Impossible, And Yet They Are Not Free Enough To Be Able To Rise Above Their Own Best Accomplishments.

Nothing Is More Witty And Grotesque Than Ancient Mythology And Christianity; That Is Because They Are So Mystical.

Only He Who Possesses A Personal Religion, An Original View Of Infinity, Can Be An Artist.
