Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
That which is eternal in Woman lifts us above.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The experiences show us just as we are they make us see our own defects.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People are always talking about originality, but what do they mean? As soon as we are born, the world begins to work upon us, and this goes on to the end.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is now the foliage moving? Air is still, and hush'd the breeze, Sultriness, this fullness loving, Through the thicket, from the trees. Now the eye at once gleams brightly, See! the infant band with mirth Moves and dances nimbly, lightly, As the morning gave it birth, Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My days are as happy as those reserved by God for his elect and whatever be my fate hereafter, I can never say that I have not tasted joy— the purest joy of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a very special juice.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Over all the mountain tops is peace. In all treetops you perceive scarcely a breath. The little birds in the forest are silent. Wait then soon, you too, will have peace.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Girls we love for what they are young men for what they promise to be.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is as certain as it is strange that truth and error come from one and the same source. Thus it is that we are often not at liberty to do violence to error, because at the same time we do violence to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is simpler than one can imagine, and yet complicated and inter-twined beyond comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is worth more than this day.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unrest and uncertainty are our lot.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is the fortunate who should extol fortune. [Ger., Das Gluck erhebe billig der Begluckte.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
