While the womanly god demands our veneration, the godlike woman kindles our love; but while we allow ourselves to melt in the celestial loveliness, the celestial self-sufficiency holds us back in awe.
In the ardor of pursuit men soon forget the goal from which they start.
Foster the beautiful, and every hour thou tallest new flowers to birth.
Whatever is not forbidden is permitted.
If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.
Full of wisdom are the ordinations of fate.
