The Gods Have Become Our Diseases.

What Was Given To Us By The Past Is Adapted To The Possibilities Of The Future.

In The Second Half Of Life The Necessity Is Imposed Of Recognizing No Longer The Validity Of Our Former Ideals But Of Their Contraries. Of Perceiving The Error In What Was Previously Our Conviction, Of Sensing The Untruth In What Was Our Truth, And Of Weighing The Degree Of Opposition, And Even Of Hostility, In What We Took To Be Love.

Life Is Something That Has To Be Lived And Not Talked About.

What Is Essential In A Work Of Art Is That It Should Rise Far Above The Realm Of Personal Life And Speak To The Spirit And Heart Of The Poet As Man To The Spirit And Heart Of Mankind.

From The Middle Of Life Onward, Only He Remains Vitally Alive Who Is Ready To Die With Life.
