More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Here too it’s masquerade, I find: As everywhere, the dance of mind. I grasped a lovely masked procession, And caught things from a horror show… I’d gladly settle for a false impression, If it would last a little longer, though.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you want to understand poetry, You have to go to its origin, If you want to understand the poet, You have to go to the Poet's home.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Truth is a torch, but a huge one, and so it is only with blinking eyes what we all of us try to get past it, in actual terror of being burnt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Behavior is the mirror in which everyone shows their image.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The shudder of awe is humanity's highest faculty, Even though this world is forever altering its values.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I come more and more to the conclusion that one must take the side of the minority which is always the more intelligent one.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The way you see people is the way you treat them, and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You are certainly wrong to compare suicide ... with great accomplishments, since it cannot be considered as anything but a weakness. After all, it is easier to die than to endure a harrowing life with fortitude.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Paternity is based anyhow only upon conviction: I am convinced, therefore, I am the father.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whatever is the object of a saint's hope is the subject of his prayer.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In art it's not the thinking that does the job, but making.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great possessions and great want of them are both strong temptations.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything factual is, in a sense, theory. The blue of the sky exhibits the basic laws of chromatics. There is no sense in looking for something behind phenomena: they are theory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The light is there, and colors surround us. However, if there were no light nor colors in our own eye, we wouldn't perceive such things outside of us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
