Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Experiments are mediators between nature and idea.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
For precisely when concepts fail one, Words are found at the right time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
