Gustav Friedrichsohn
(03.01.1976 )
"..seid billig, seid nachsichtig, und nicht gleich vor den Kopf geschlagen, wenn Ihr einmal einen paradoxen Satz antrefft; denn vielleicht ist, was Euch so unbehaglich verwundert, nur das Gefühl, dass Ihr dem Magnetberge nahe kommt, der in Euch alle eisernen Fugen und Klammern loszieht.." "..be just, be tolerant, if you at some time encounter a paradoxical sentence; since perhaps that, what has amazed you in a negative way, it is just a feeling, that you are approaching the magnet mountain, which pulls out of you all splices and embraces.."
Ludwig Tieck
