The conclusion of the Realdialektik is: 'It does not suffice' either for complete annihilation or for full satisfaction. The child of Gaia is born between heaven and hell, now ready to camp with the lightshunning creatures of the Chthonic darkness, now ready to flutter upwards to the heights of splendor.

More quotes by Julius Bahnsen

The longer I live, the more I feel that the simplest formula for the constancy of my fate is: on a lost watch.

What in all the world has courage to do with hope?

Man is a self-conscious Nothing.

[The self is divided within itself], willing what it does not will and not willing what it wills.

And if my friends refused to listen to me, then the walls had to hear me or the stones in the fields and the trees of the forests.
