I came across a brief mention of something in reading yesterday. Jean Paul Friedrich Richter, also known simply as Jean Paul, was a “German poet and writer best known for the novel Siebenkas (1796), which introduced the conept of the doppelganger or alter ego.” There is a strange overlap in the things I have been reading especially as relates to duality, etc.
Jean Paul is credited with some beautiful quotations:
- Every man has a rainy corner of his life whence comes foul weather which follows him.
- Only actions give life strength; only moderation gives it charm.
- There is a joy in sorrow which none but a mourner can know.
- Nothing is more beautiful than cheerfulness in an old face.
Here is something related that you might find interesting:
