Nothing can be compared to the new life that the discovery of another country provides for a thoughtful person. Although I am still the same I believe to have changed to the bones.

Let us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the man of thought almost nothing is really ridiculous.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How fair doth Nature Appear again! How bright the sunbeams! How smiles the plain! The flow'rs are bursting From ev'ry bough, And thousand voices Each bush yields now. And joy and gladness Fill ev'ry breast! Oh earth!-oh sunlight! Oh rapture blest! Oh love! oh loved one!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have found among my papers a sheet . . . in which I call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am certain that I have been here as I am now a thousand times before, and I hope to return a thousand times... Man is a dialogue between nature and God. On other planets this dialogue will doubtless be of a higher and profounder character. What is lacking is Self-Knowledge. After that the rest will follow.
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
There is nothing outside of us that is not at the same time in us, and as the external world has its colors the eye, too, has colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is the universal? The single case. What is the particular? Millions of cases.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Woman-Soul leadeth us upward and on!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am fully convinced that the soul is indestructible, and its activity will continue through eternity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Whoever gives himself up to solitude, Ah! he is soon alone.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am what I am, so take me as I am!.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot love must learn to flatter.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let no one be like another, yet everyone like the highest. How is this done? Be each one perfect in himself.
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
We always hope, and in all things it is better to hope than to despair.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A mind, once formed, is never suited after, One yet in growth will ever grateful be. [Ger., Wer fertig ist, dem ist nichts recht zu machen, Ein Werdender wird immer dankbar sein.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
