POETRY
The experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
PROSE
Literature is a picture, that is in a certain way a picture and a mirror; the expression of passion, a kind of subtle criticism, an exhortation to edification.
— Fyodor Dostoevsky
Philosophy
Philosophy is not something with which our mind, without its own agency, is originally and by nature imbued. It is throughout a work of freedom.
— Friedrich Schelling
Reflections
If only it were possible for us to see farther than our knowledge reaches, and even a little beyond the outworks of our presentiment, perhaps we would bear our sadnesses with greater trust than we have in our joys.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Religion
To stand on one leg and prove God’s existence is a very different thing from going down on one’s knees and thanking him.
— Søren Kierkegaard
