Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.

I fell asleep reading a dull book and dreamed I kept on reading, so I awoke from sheer boredom.

I wept in my dreams. I dreamed you lay in the grave; I awoke, and the tears still poured down my cheeks. I wept in my dreams, I dreamed you had left me; I awoke and I went on weeping long and bitterly. I wept in my dreams, I dreamed you were still kind to me; I awoke, and still the flow of my tears streams on.

I have smelt all the aromas there are in the fragrant kitchen they call Earth; and what we can enjoy in this life, I surely have enjoyed just like a lord!

That was only the beginning - where one burns books, one will finally also burn people.

The sun's sweet ray is hovering discovered.

Life is all too wondrous sweet, and the world is so beautifully bewildered; it is the dream of an intoxicated divinity.
