“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.”

“If you want to see mankind fully, look at a family. Within the family minds become organically one, and for this reason the family is total poetry.”

“A family can develop only with a loving woman as its center.”

“Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine.”

“Art and works of art do not make an artist sense and enthusiasm and instinct do.”
