Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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
The more one knows, the more one comprehends, the more one realizes that everything turns in a circle.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything great and intelligent is in the minority
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every beginning is cheerful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Human life-everybody lives it, but only to a few is it known.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Man can only endure a certain degree of unhappiness what is beyond that either annihilates him or passes by him and leaves him apathetic
