Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It used to happen, and still happens, to me to take no pleasure in a work of art at the first sight of it, because it is too much for me but if I suspect any merit in it, I try to get at it and then I never fail to make the most gratifying discoveries--to find new qualities in the work itself and new faculties in myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He loves not who does not see the faults of the beloved as virtues.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wish the crowd to feel itself well treated, Especially since it lives and lets me live.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Words are good, but there is something better. The best cannot be explained by words. The spirit in which we act is the chief matter. Action can only be only understood and represented by the spirit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Colors are light's suffering and joy
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of knowledge is a great fugue in which the voices of the nations one after the other emerge.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the destiny of man, but to fill up the measure of his sufferings, and to drink his allotted cup of bitterness?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What in us the women leave uncultivated, children cultivate when we retain them near us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The century is advanced, but every individual begins afresh.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Happy the man who early learns the wide chasm that lies between his wishes and his powers.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
