Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
We cannot and must not get rid of nor deny our characteristics. But we can give them shape and direction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
A king there was once reigning, Who had a goodly flea, Him loved he without feigning, As his own son were he!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
If I say to the moment: 'Stay now! You are so beautiful'!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
The eye doesn't see any shapes, it sees only what is differentiated through light and dark or through colors.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Begin by instructing yourself, then you will receive instruction from others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-lantern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Wisdom is found only in truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Mozart is a human incarnation of the divine force of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Look closely at those who patronize you. Half are unfeeling, half untaught.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Were not the eye made to receive the rays of the sun, it could not behold the sun if the peculiar power of God lay not in us, how could the godlike charm us?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Life is the childhood of our immortality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
