I have so much in me, and the feeling for her absorbs it all; I have so much, and without her it all comes to nothing.

Ich habe so viel, und die Emfpindung an ihr verschlingt alles; ich habe so viel, und ohne sie wird mir alles zu Nichts.

Another quote from the 1770s

The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself; and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power.
