As The Ancient Commander Addressed

Wit As An Instrument Of Revenge Is As Infamous As Art Is As A Means Of Sensual Titillation.

Most Thoughts Are Only Profiles Of Thoughts. They Must Be Inverted And Synthesized With Their Antipodes. Thus Many Philosophical Writings Become Very Interesting Which Would Not Have Been So Otherwise.

A Genuinely Free And Educated Man Should Be Able To Tune Himself, As One Tunes A Musical Instrument, Absolutely Arbitrarily, At His Convenience At Any Time And To Any Degree, Philosophically Or Philologically, Critically Or Poetically, Historically Or Rhetorically, In Ancient Or Modern Form.

It Is A Thoughtless And Immodest Presumption To Learn Anything About Art From Philosophy. Some Do Begin As If They Hoped To Learnsomething New Here, Since Philosophy Cannot And Should Not Do Anything Further Than Develop The Given Art Experiences And The Existing Art Concepts Into A Science, Improve The Views Of Art, And Promote Them With The Help Of A Thoroughly Scholarly Art History, And Produce That Logical Mood About These Subjects Too Which Unites Absolute Liberalism With Absolute Rigor.

Every Relationship Of Man To The Infinite Is Religion, Namely Of A Man In The Full Abundance Of His Humanity. Whenever A Mathematician Calculates Infinity, That, To Be Sure, Is Not Religion. Infinity Conceived In This Abundance Is The Godhead.
