Aphorism Quotations
The aphorism in which I am the first master among Germans, are the forms of "eternity"; my ambition is to say in ten sentences what everyone else says in a book - what everyone else does not say in a book. Friedrich Nietzsche The laughter of the aphorism is sometimes triumphant, but seldom carefree. Mason Cooley An aphorism ought to be entirely isolated from the surrounding world like a little work of art and complete in itself like a hedgehog. Friedrich Von Schlegel Exclusively of the abstract sciences, the largest and worthiest portion of our knowledge consists of aphorisms: and the greatest and best of men is but an aphorism. Samuel Taylor Coleridge How many of us have been attracted to reason; first learned to think, to draw conclusions, to extract a moral from the follies of life, by some dazzling aphorism. Robert Bulwer-Lytton |
