""Die höchste Schönheit, die der Mensch erreichen kann, ist, daß er alle Leidenschaften in sich zu einem Kunstwerk verarbeitet, daß er wie ein Gott über allen steht und sie regiert, so daß sie nur immer von der Kraft der Seele zeigen, aber nie in widrige Verzerrung ausarten, und die höchste, ja ich möchte sagen die einzige Tugend, die der Mensch besitzen kann, ist die Wahrheit gegen sich und andre." - Sophie Bernhardi, Lebensansicht. In: Athenaeum, Hrsg. August Wilhelm Schlegel und Friedrich Schlegel, Dritten Bandes Zweites Stück, bei Heinrich Frölich, Berlin 1800, S. 210 f.,"
