Oscar WildeTo be really mediæval one should have no body. To be really modern one should have no soul. To be really Greek one should have no clothes.
About This Quote
I have been a fan of this quote for a while now. It is so true. You can have a body, a soul and a lot of clothes but if you do not have a real Münster, you are not really a true german. A modern person will have a cell phone, a laptop and some clothes that are more modern than others.
They will have more technology and they will have more clothes. But they will be lacking something. I am not talking about having less things, but without the soul, the body and the clothing you will still be modern.
The soul is what makes you real. If you can't feel it in your heart you are not truly german.
