“Wenn oft der Himmel umwölkt und der Horizont kleiner war, fühlte er eine Art von Bangigkeit, daß die ganze Welt wiederum mit ebenso einer Decke umschlossen sei wie die Stube, worin er wohnte, und wenn er dann mit seinen Gedanken über diese gewölbte Decke hinausging, so kam ihm diese Welt an sich viel zu klein vor, und es deuchte ihm, als müsse sie wiederum in einer andern eingeschlossen sein, und das immer so fort.”
Karl Philipp Moritz, Anton Reiser

“If only he had felt the sure sign of the artist, and realized that he who does not forget himself for his art, is not born to be one, it would have spared him much vain effort and much wasted trouble.”
Karl Phillip Moritz

“Littleness borders on passing away and annihilation. It is the idea of littleness which produces pain, a sense of void and sadness: the grave is the narrow house, the coffin is a dwelling, silent, cool, and small. Littleness gives a sense of void, and this causes sadness. Sadness is the beginning of annihilation, infinite emptiness is annihilation.”
Karl Phillip Moritz
