Friedrich von Schelling

“Reason is in its own nature dialectical.”

“Man is the highest of the creatures, because he is the most complete microcosm.”

“The absolute is the identity of identity and non-identity.”

“God is, if I may be allowed the expression, the eternal geometrician.”

“The fearful is the mother of the sublime.”

“The beginning and end of all philosophy is—Freedom.”

“The state is not a work of art.”

“Architecture in general is frozen music.”

“The soul of the artist is the soul of the universe.”

“Nature is visible Spirit; Spirit is invisible Nature.”

“Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers - and never succeeding.”

“All history is a progressive, gradually self-disclosing revelation of the absolute.”

“There is no such thing as a history of philosophy, there is only a history of the errors of philosophy.”
