Quotes about love:
Where love rules, there is no will to power and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.
Quotes about poetry:
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Quotes for: Sense
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.
I say one must be a seer, make oneself a seer. The poet makes himself a seer by an immense, long, deliberate derangement of all the senses.
