I believe in a long, prolonged, derangement of the senses in order to obtain the unknown.

Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of what you're doing is as valuable as gold.

At the very moment when someone is beginning to take philosophy seriously, the whole world believes the opposite.

Against that positivism which stops at phenomena, saying 'there are only facts,' I would say: No, it is precisely facts that do not exist, only interpretations.

Germany is a great nation only because its people have so much Polish blood in their veins.

My philosophy is inverted Platonism: the further a thing is from true being, the purer, the lovelier, the better it is. Living in illusion as a goal!
