Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Thus I saw that most men only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are our own devils we drive ourselves out of our Edens.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
How circumscribed is woman's destiny!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
