Friedrich Hebbel

There are many people who don't believe in anything, but who are afraid of everything.

Whatever a man may gain, he must pay for dearly, even if it is only with the fear of losing it.

There are people who would find comfort even in the end of the world, as long as they had announced it.

Our virtues are often the illegitimate children of our vices.

Believing something is possible is making it true.

The eyes are the point where the soul and the body intertwine.

Often, youth is criticized for believing that the world begins with them. True, but old age often believes even more frequently that the world ends with them. What is worse?

A prisoner is a preacher of freedom.

To more than one who says that life is short, the day seems too long.

We must act, not to go against destiny, but to go ahead of it.

The issue is the problem; the form is the solution.
