Beauty is a terrible and awful thing! It is terrible because it has not been fathomed, for God sets us nothing but riddles. Here the boundaries meet and all contradictions exist side by side.

Beauty is the soul striving to make itself visible.

Beauty is the crystallization of the life and power to which everything is a means.

Beauty is a thing that lives with kindness.

Conflict is not possible without communication.

Conflict is avoided most on account of mutual respect.

Conflict is inevitable but not necessarily bad.

Conflict is the force that drives a theatrical writer.

Curiosity is the kernel of the forbidden fruit.

Curiosity is the direct incontinency of the spirit.

Curiosity is, as neugierig, an avarice (gier) of the new (neu), an everyday tendency of Dasein to let itself be restlessly carried along solely by the way the world appears.

Curiosity is a search for novelty and endless stimulation rather than belonging or dwelling.

Danger is never without the possibility of a turn in which our forgetfulness of being could suddenly veer toward the truth of being.

The Danger is self-concealing. It leads to distress, and those moments when we seem to be without any distress may in fact be the most serious form of distress of all.

Danger is the nettle out of which we pluck the flower of safety.

Danger is necessary to glory — we triumph without glory when we conquer without danger.
