Persons [ ] Depth must be hidden | Hugo von Hofmannsthal, 1874 -1929
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, 1893
“The soul is never wholly assembled, except in delight.”
“Reality lies in the greatest enchantment you have ever experienced.”
“Depth must be hidden. Where? On the surface.”
“First, to be able to love, then to learn that body and spirit are one.”
“How we feel is how we want to be heard.”
“Singing is near miraculous because it is the mastering of what is otherwise
a pure instrument of egotism: the human voice.”
“We have fewer friends than we imagine, but more than we know.”
“To grow mature is to separate more distinctly, to connect more closely.”
“The most dangerous of our impulses reign in ourselves against ourselves.
To dissolve them is a creative act.”
Hugo von Hofmannsthal, 1874 -1929
