Georg Buchner — German Dramatist born on October 17, 1813, died on February 19, 1837

Karl Georg Büchner was a German dramatist and writer of poetry and prose, considered part of the Young Germany movement. He was also a revolutionary, a natural scientist, and the brother of physician and philosopher Ludwig Büchner. His literary achievements, though few in number, are generally held in great esteem in Germany and it is widely believed that, had it not been for his early death, he might have joined such central German literary figures as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Friedrich Schiller at the summit of their profession...

The stars are scattered all over the sky like shimmering tears, there must be great pain in the eye from which they trickled.
The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.
The life of the wealthy is one long Sunday.
Whoever finishes a revolution only halfway, digs his own grave.
The power of the people and the power of reason are one.
