Life is writing. The sole purpose of mankind is to engrave the thoughts of divinity onto the tablets of nature.

The obsession with moderation is the spirit of castrated narrow-mindedness.

A definition of poetry can only determine what poetry should be and not what poetry actually was and is; otherwise the most concise formula would be: Poetry is that which at some time and some place was thus named.

In the world of language, or in other words in the world of art and liberal education, religion necessarily appears as mythology or as Bible.

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.

All thinking of the religious man is etymological, a reduction of all concepts to the original intuition, to the characteristic.

The difference between religion and morality lies simply in the classical division of things into the divine and the human, if one only interprets this correctly.
