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.
Karl Georg Bchner
Consider your origin; you were not born to live like brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Durante degli Alighieri
Europe is divided by the walls of 30 languages. Fortunately, among these national languages, around 10,000 words of Greek and Latin origin are common. This precious linguistic treasure ought to be used maximally without mutilating one single word or inventing others.

To be a teacher (Beuys was teaching on the Dsseldorf Art Academy, fh) is my greatest work of art. The rest is the waste product, a demonstration. If you want to express yourself you must present something tangible. But after a while this has only the function of a historic document. Objects arent very important any more. I want to get to the origin of matter, to the thought behind it.
Joseph Beuys
