Text Quotes
Memory is so corrupt that you remember only what you want to; if you want to forget about something, slowly but surely you do (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
There is no sense to a sacrifice after you come to feel that it is a sacrifice (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
The free, independent spirit who commits himself to no dogma and will not decide in favor of any party has no homestead on earth (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Often the presence of mind and energy of a person remote from the spotlight decide the course of history for centuries to come (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Never can the innate power of a work be hidden or locked away. A work of art can be forgotten by time; it can be forbidden and rejected but the elemental will always prevail over the ephemeral (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Fate is never too generous even to its favorites. Rarely do the gods grant a mortal more than one immortal deed (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
One never gets to know a person’s character better than by watching his behavior during decisive moments... It is always only danger which forces the most deeply hidden strengths and abilities of a human being to come forth (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
But, in history, practical usefulness never determines the moral value of an achievement. Only the person who increases the knowledge humanity has about itself and enhances its creative consciousness permanently enriches humanity (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
The strength of a love is always misjudged if we evaluate it by its immediate cause and not the stress that went before it, the dark and hollow space full of disappointment and loneliness that precedes all the great events in the heart’s history (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
The dressmaker doesn’t have problems unless the dress has to hide rather than reveal (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Formerly man had only a body and a soul. Now he needs a passport as well for without it he will not be treated like a human being (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
It is better to pay tribute of gold to the enemy than tribute of blood in war (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
For the more a man limits himself, the nearer he is on the other hand to what is limitless (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Dostoevsky was the first to reveal to us this teeming multiplicity of emotions, this complexity of our spiritual universe (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
It is never until one realizes that one means something to others that one feels there is any point or purpose in one’s own existence (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
It is the way of youth that each fresh piece of knowledge of life should go to its head, and that once uplifted by an emotion it can never have enough of it (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Only the person who has experienced light and darkness, war and peace, rise and fall, only that person has truly experienced life (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
The sight of a wedding always has a disturbing effect on young girls; at such moments a mysterious sense of solidarity with their own sex takes possession of them (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
The union of opposites, in so far as they are really complementary, always results in the most perfect harmony; and the seemingly incongruous is often the most natural (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
One’s emotional state is always determined by the oddest and most accidental things, and it is precisely the most superficial factors that often fortify or diminish our courage (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Inevitably, in the secret chemistry of the emotions the feeling of pity for a sick person is imperceptibly bound up with tenderness (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Supreme achievement and outstanding capacity are only rendered possible by mental concentration, by a sublime monomania that verges on lunacy (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Only ambition is fired by the coincidences of success and easy accomplishment but nothing is quite as splendidly uplifting to the heart as the defeat of a human being who battles against the invincible superiority of fate. This is always the most grandiose of all tragedies, one sometimes created by a dramatist but created thousands of times by life (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
I hadn’t had a book in my hands for four months, and the mere idea of a book where I could see words printed one after another, lines, pages, leaves, a book in which I could pursue new, different, fresh thoughts to divert me, could take them into my brain, had something both intoxicating and stupefying about it (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
He was, like everyone of a strongly erotic disposition, twice as good, twice as much himself when he knew that women liked him, just as many actors find their most ardent vein when they sense that they have cast their spell over the audience, the breathing mass of spectators before them (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
States of profound happiness, like all other forms of intoxication, are apt to befuddle the wits; intense enjoyment of the present always makes one forget the past (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Decisive inventions and discoveries always are initiated by an intellectual or moral stimulus as their actual motivating force, but, usually, the final impetus to human action is given by material impulses... merchants stood as a driving force behind the heroes of the age of discovery; this first heroic impulse to conquer the world emanated from very mortal forces (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
Fear is a distorting mirror in which anything can appear as a caricature of itself, stretched to terrible proportions; once inflamed, the imagination pursues the craziest and most unlikely possibilities. What is most absurd suddenly seems the most probable (Stefan Zweig Quotes)
