Considered Subjectively, Philosophy Always Begins

If One Believes Philosophers, Then What We Call Religion Is Only A Deliberately Popularized Or An Instinctively Artless Philosophy. Poets Seem To Consider Religion Rather As A Variation Of Poetry Which By Misjudging Its Proper Beautiful Game Takes Itself Too Seriously And One-sidedly. Philosophy, However, Admits And Recognizes That It Can Begin And Complete Itself Only With Religion. Poetry Seeks Only To Strive For The Infinite And Despises Worldly Utility And Culture, Which Are The True Antitheses Of Religion. Eternal Peace Among Artists Is Thus Not Far Away.

Duty Is For Kant The One And All. Out Of The Duty Of Gratitude, He Claims, One Has To Defend And Esteem The Ancients; And Only Out Of Duty Has He Become A Great Man.

Strictly Speaking, The Idea Of A Scientific Poem Is Probably As Nonsensical As That Of A Poetic Science.

The Most Important Thing In Love Is The Sense For One Another, And The Highest Thing The Faith In One Another. Devotion Is The Expression Of That Faith, And Pleasure Can Revive And Enhance That Sense, Even If Not Create It, As Is Commonly Thought. Therefore, Sensuality Can Delude Bad Persons For A Short Time Into Thinking They Could Love Each Other.
