Author of quotes: Hans Georg Gadamer

The gospel cannot be divorced from its fulfillment.

Understanding is always an interpretation.

The text, understood historically, is devoid of any claim to truth.

The true meaning of a text or a work of art can never be completely exhausted; getting closer to it is an endless process.

The whole should be understood on the basis of the particular, and the particular - on the basis of the whole.

Timelessness is a way of being in history.

The individual first becomes aware of his own strength through the experience of the obstacle.

Life is the true foundation of the Spiritual Sciences.

The image is an existential process, in it being acquires a meaningful and visible manifestation.

A free artist creates without a contract.

History is a completely different source of truth than theoretical reason.

Common sense is a sense of rightness and common good that lives in all people.

Only through forgetting does the spirit retain the possibility of total renewal, the ability to look at everything with a fresh eye.

Labor is a curbed drive.
