We do not have too much intellect and too little soul, but too little intellect in matters of the soul,

A man who wants the truth becomes a scientist; a man who wants to give free play to his subjectivity may become a writer; but what should a man do who wants something in between?

Robert Musil 102 quotes

True' and 'false' are the evas...

True' and 'false' are the evasions of people who never want to arrive at a decision. Truth is something without end.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

It is life that does the think...

It is life that does the thinking all around us, forming with playful ease the connections our reason can only laboriously patch together piecemeal, and never to such kaleidoscopic effect.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

A politician who climbs high over the bodies of the slain is described as vile or great according to the degree of his success.

One does what one is; one becomes what one does.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

For only fools, fanatics, and ...

For only fools, fanatics, and mental cases can stand living at the highest pitch of soul; a sane person must be content with declaring that life would not be worth living without a spark of that mysterious fire.

And what would you do, ... if ...

And what would you do, ... if you could rule the world for a day? I suppose I would have no choice but to abolish reality.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

The thought came to me that al...

The thought came to me that all one loves in art becomes beautiful. Beauty is nothing but the expression of the fact that something is being loved. Only thus could she be defined.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

Every day there comes a moment...

Every day there comes a moment when a person lays his hands in his lap and all his busyness collapses like ashes. The work accomplished is, from the soul's point of view, entirely imaginary.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

It will always be the same pos...

It will always be the same possibilities, in sum or on the average, that go on repeating themselves until a man comes along who does not value the actuality above idea. It is he who first gives the new possibilities their meaning, their direction, and he awakens them.

Life is to blame for everything.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

The thoughts of my emotionally...

The thoughts of my emotionally so disturbed days must be found again, shifted and developed further. Here and there something of the loose remarks I make must be used, but only when it finds my attention again.

Robert Musil 102 quotes

A particularly fine head on a ...

A particularly fine head on a man usually means that he is stupid; particularly deep philosophers are usually shallow thinkers; in literature, talents not much above the average are usually regarded by their contemporaries as geniuses.

Anything that endures over time sacrifices its ability to make an impression.

Don't you know that every perf...

Don't you know that every perfect life would mean the end of art?

Only in the most unusual cases...

Only in the most unusual cases is it useful to determine whether a book is good or bad; for it is just as rare for it to be one or the other. It is usually both.

It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!

Robert Musil 102 quotes

All still lifes are actually paintings of the world on the sixth day of creation, when God and the world were alone together, without man!

Layer by layer art strips life bare.
