Friedrich Schiller

“It is through beauty that we arrive at freedom.”

“It would be necessary that they should be already sages to love wisdom: a truth that was felt at once by him to whom philosophy owes its name.”

“They have founded the whole structure of their happiness on these very illusions, which ought to be combated and dissipated by the light of knowledge, and they would think they were paying too dearly for a truth which begins by robbing them of all that has value in their sight.”

“Man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.”
