"What is a poet? An unhappy man who in his heart harbors a profound agony, but whose lips are so fashioned that the sounds that emerge from them are like the beautiful music of an organ."

"The aesthetic is the immediate, the ethical is the choice, the religious is the infinite passion of inwardness."

"What a dreadful falsehood it is to admire the truth, instead of following it."

"Only the truth that edifies is truth for you."

"Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom."
