Friedrich Schlegel on Religion

1772–1829 Germany

← All quotes by Friedrich Schlegel

2 quotes

Only he who possesses a personal religion, an original view of infinity, can be an artist.

There are as many gods as there are ideals. And further, the relation of the true artist and the true human being to his ideals is absolutely religious. The man for whom this inner divine service is the end and occupation of all his life is a priest, and this is how everyone can and should become a priest.
