Friedrich von Schiller (1759 – 1805) was a German philosopher, physician, historian, poet, and playwright. While studying medicine at the Karlsschule Stuttgart, he wrote his first play: The Robbers. Although he secured a post as an army doctor in 1780, his love of philosophy and writing led to his appointment as professor of history at the University of Jena in 1789. While perhaps best known as one of Germany’s most important classical playwrights, he also authored many poems and philosophical essays.
Quotes by Friedrich von Schiller…
Ever building, building to the clouds, still building higher, and never reflecting that the poor narrow basis cannot sustain the giddy tottering column.
Would you know others? Read yourself… and learn!
