Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Irony Quotations

Irony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.

Irony is a clear consciousness of an eternal agility, of the infinitely abundant chaos.

The naive is what is or appears to be natural, individual, or classical to the point of irony or to the point of continuous alternation of self-creation and self-destruction. If it is only instinct, then it is childlike, childish, or silly; if it is only intention, it becomes affectation.
