One only makes books in order to keep in touch with one's fellows after one has ceased to breath, and thus to defend oneself against the inexorable fate of all that lives - transitoriness and oblivion. Stefan Zweig
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
In chess, as a purely intellectual game, where randomness is excluded, - for someone to play against himself is absurd ...It is as paradoxical, as attempting to jump over his own shadow. Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig quote: "There is no sense to a sacrifice after you come to feel that..."
There is no sense to a sacrifice after you come to feel that it is a sacrifice. Stefan Zweig
