Georg Buchner
Revolution is like the daughters of Pelias: it cuts humanity to pieces in order to rejuvenate it.
Buchner quotes
Do you know, Valerio, that even the least among all humans is so great that life is far too short to love him?
Buchner
Peace to the shacks! War on the palaces!




Buchner Georg quotes
There is something beautiful about virtue, Captain. But I am just a poor guy.
Buchner Georg
The life of the wealthy is one long Sunday.
Georg Buchner quotes
And for tired eyes every light is too bright, and for tired lips every breath too heavy, and for tired ears every word too much.
Georg Buchner
The revolution must end and the republic must begin. In our constitution, right must take the place of duty, welfare that of virtue, and self-defense that of punishment. Everyone must be able to prevail and to live according to one’s own nature.
Buchner Georg quotes
You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie.
Buchner
We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces.
Buchner Georg
There are only Epicureans, either crude or refined; Christ was the most refined.
Georg Buchner
A good man with a good conscience doesn’t walk so fast.




Georg Buchner quotes
Germany is now a field of cadavers, soon she will be a paradise.
Georg Buchner
The world is chaos. Nothingness is the yet-to-be-born god of the world.
Buchner quotes
The state is therefore everyone; the rules within the state are laws which safeguard the welfare of all and which must originate from the welfare of all.
Buchner Georg
How many women does one need to sing the scale of love all the way up and down?
Buchner Georg quotes
One must love humanity in order to reach out into the unique essence of each individual: no one can be too low or too ugly.
Georg Buchner
Death is the most blessed dream.
Georg Buchner quotes
Love is a peculiar thing.
