About no subject is there less philosophizing than about philosophy.

The French Revolution, Fichte's Theory of Knowledge, and Goethe's Wilhelm Meister are the three greatest tendencies of the age.

Religion is not only a part of education, an element of humanity, but the center of everything else, always the first and the ultimate, the absolutely original.

Every good man progressively becomes God. To become God, to be man, and to educate oneself, are expressions that are synonymous.

Ideas are infinite, original, and lively divine thoughts.
