Quotes
- “What is true is alas not new, the new not true.”
- “Language is a system of conventional signs that can be voluntarily produced at any time.”
- “Mental states of every kind — sensations, feelings, images— which were at one time present in consciousness and then have disappeared from it — have not with their disappearance absolutely ceased to exist. Although the inwardly - turned look may no longer be able to find them, nevertheless they have not been utterly destroyed and annulled, but in a certain manner they, continue to exist, stored up to speak, in the memory.”
- “The musician writes for the orchestra what his inner voice sings to him; the painter rarely relies without disadvantage solely upon the images which his inner eye presents to him; nature gives him his forms, study' governs his combinations of them”
- “A poem is learned by heart and then not again repeated. We will suppose that after a half year it has been forgotten: no effort of recollection is able to call it back again into consciousness.”
- “The constant flux and caprice of mental events do not admit of the establishment of stable experimental conditions.”

He was the first person to describe the learning curve. He was the father of the neo-Kantian philosopher Julius Ebbinghaus.
