Character: Kleist
Do you have connections at court? At first, I answered in the negative, somewhat embarrassedly, but then with all the more pride I declared that if I had any connections, I, according to my current notions, would be ashamed to count on them.

There are no means of communication. Even the only thing that we have - language - is not suitable for this; he cannot describe the soul. Therefore, I am overwhelmed by a feeling similar to fear, whenever I want to open my inner world to someone.

Civilization is destructive and cruel, its target is Sodom and Gomorrah. History is an endless conflict between natural and social, natural and ideological, Eden and Sodom. That is why it moves from the first to the second.
