Quotations
On the tree of wisdom there is no fairer flower than the Upanishads, and no finer fruit than the Vedanta philosophy.
The system of Vedanta, as founded on the Upanishads and Vedanta Sutras and accompanied by Shankara's commentary on them---equal in rank to Plato and Kant---is one of the most valuable products of the genius of mankind in his researches of the eternal truth.

Deussen is here recounting a story as FN told it to him; he did not directly witness it.
His friend PaulDeussen, who is remaining at Bonn, experiences a mixture of regret and relief: "[FN] zeigte aber eine Neigung, mich überall zu korrigieren, zu hofmeistern und gelegentlich recht sehr zu quälen..." [(FN) exhibited a tendency to correct and supervise me continually, and from time to time to torture me. Chronik, p.134].
Deussen was a professor of philosophy in Kiel, and a renowned Indologist.
