When the world of the senses and the world of the spirit appear absolutely separated, then sin is at its peak: it has systematized and completed itself.

More quotes by Adam Müller

A poem is a whole, complete 'made' world: a fiction is a half, incomplete, poorly made piece of world.

Man cannot be conceived outside of the state.

The reconciliation of science and art and of their noblest ideas with serious political life was the purpose of my larger works.

An artist who forgets the world over his work will never speak to the world through the work, may perhaps tear the work dead from himself, but will never be able to close it into its own free and necessary life.

Man is endowed with a thousandfold desires and infinite longings, and thus has been sent into a world that would be rich enough to grant even more than he can demand. Every glow of the heart finds its shadow, every thirst its wave, every longing its distance, and countless hidden, well-protected refuges are prepared for the soul that strives for safety and peace.
