Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The hardest thing to see is what is in front of your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The aim of living is life itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
