Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing new on earth / For a person who lives long and experiences much. / In my years of youthful wandering / I have seen crystallized people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you wish a wise answer, you must put a rational question.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All theory, my friend, is grey, But green is life's glad golden tree.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit Whats genuine, shall posterity inherit.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am part of the part that once was everything, Part of the darkness which gave birth to light… Mephistopheles, from Faust.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
