Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.

All men are somewhat ridiculous and grotesque, just because they are men; and in this respect artists might well be regarded as man multiplied by two. So it is, was, and shall be.

Considered subjectively, philosophy always begins in the middle, like an epic poem.

Women are treated as unjustly in poetry as in life. The feminine ones are not idealistic, and the idealistic not feminine.

All the great truths are basically trivial and so we have to find new ways, preferably paradoxical ways, of expressing them, in order to keep them from falling into oblivion.

To disrespect the masses is moral; to honor them, lawful.

Every philosophical review ought to be a philosophy of reviews at the same time.
