Additional quotes by Friedrich Schiller
Freundlos war der große Weltenmeister,
Fühlte Mangel - darum schuf er Geister.
Sel'ge Spiegel seiner Seligkeit!
Fand das höchste Wesen schon kein gleiches,
Aus dem Kelch des ganzen Seelenreiches
Schäumt ihm - die Unendlichkeit.

The concrete life of the individual is destroyed in order that the abstract idea of the whole may drag out its sorry existence.
