Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.

To Christoph Martin Wieland in April 1811

In German: Das Leben ist eine mißliche Sache: ich habe mir vorgesetzt, es damit hinzubringen, über dasselbe nachzudenken.
As quoted in: Gespräche (F. Frommann, 1971), p. 22


Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.

Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.

Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.

Life is a miserable thing. I have decided to spend my life thinking about it.
