Hermann BahrThinkers

Artist is he who feels that the last word of creation hasn't been spoken yet: and that he was sent into the world to utter it.

Enthusiasm is always right, even in the wrong place.

The Genius is someone who understands the obvious first.

Genius is always a matter of conceiving of the self-evident.

The Intellect is capable of negating, but it cannot create.

The Masterpiece doesn't even allow any thought of its "creator" to arise.

Mysticism is grasped when one does not find the mystical mystical.

Routine is creating without feeling. Where it starts, there is no more art.

Truth is a bashful lover that one never has.
