Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True religion teaches us to reverence what is under us, to recognize humility and poverty, and, despite mockery and disgrace, wretchedness, suffering, and death, as things divine.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Strike the dog dead, it's but a critic!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You'll never attain it unless you know the feeling.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
