Arthur Schnitzler Quotes

“I write of love and death. What other subjects are there?”

“Oh, we do not understand death, we never understand it; creatures are only truly dead when everyone else has died who knew them.”

“There are all kinds of flight from responsibility. There is a flight into death, a flight into sickness, and finally a flight into stupidity.”

“Am I sure? Only as sure as I am that the reality of one night, let alone that of a whole lifetime, can ever be the whole truth.”
