Quotes

  • Music is the moonlight in the gloomy night of life.
  • When Antipater demanded fifty children as hostages from the Spartans, they offered him, in their stead, a hundred men of distinction; unlike ordinary educators, who precisely reverse the offering. The Spartans thought rightly and nobly. In the world of childhood all posterity stands before us, upon which we, like Moses upon the promised land, may only gaze, but not enter.
  • Die Erinnerung ist das einzige Paradies, aus welchem wir nicht getrieben werden können.
  • The past and future are veiled; but the past wears the widow's veil; the future, the virgin's.
  • A timid person is frightened before a danger, a coward during the time, and a courageous person afterward.
  • The wish falls often warm upon my heart that I may learn nothing here that I cannot continue in the other world; that I may do nothing here but deeds that will bear fruit in heaven.

mcnbiografias.com

Jean Paul nació en una familia modesta en Wunsiedel, una pequeña localidad de Franconia Superior, en el corazón de Alemania. Su padre fue maestro y luego predicador, lo que permitió que el joven Jean Paul tuviera acceso a una educación religiosa sólida. Desde temprana edad, Jean Paul mostró una notable aptitud para las letras, pero también se vio influenciado por el contexto histórico en el que vivió, marcado por el Sturm und Drang, un movimiento literario que exaltaba la emoción y la subjetividad, y el racionalismo tardío, que destacaba la razón como el centro del pensamiento. 1796-1797: Publicación de las novelas Vida de Quintus Fixlein y Siebenkäs , esta última con tintes existencialistas. Diego Corriente Matos (1757-1781). El bandido generoso que desafió al poder desde Andalucía Eduardi Corsini (1702-1765). Filósofo y anticuario que marcó la erudición italiana del siglo XVIII
