Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Progress has not followed a straight ascending line, but a spiral with rhythms of progress and retrogression, of evolution and dissolution.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are light's suffering and joy
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
