More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In the colored reflection we have Life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Flowers are the beautiful hieroglyphics of nature with which she indicates how much she loves us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you inquire what people are like here, I must answer, The same as everywhere.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Blood is a very special juice.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who has a task to perform must know how to take sides, or he is quite unworthy of it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He who cannot draw on three thousand years is living from hand to mouth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Does not man lack the force at the very point where he needs it most? And when he soars upward in joy, or sinks down in suffering, is not checked in both, is he not returned again to the dull, cold sphere of awareness, just when he was longing to lose himself in the fullness of the infinite.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is not given to us to grasp the truth, which is identical with the divine, directly. We perceive it only in reflection, in example and symbol, in singular and related appearances. It meets us as a kind of life which is incomprehensible to us, and yet we cannot free ourselves from the desire to comprehend it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The summit charms us, the steps to it do not with the heights before our eyes, we like to linger in the plain. It is only a part of art that can be taught but the artist needs the whole. He who is only half instructed speaks much and is always wrong who knows it wholly is content with acting and speaks seldom or late.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nothing is more damaging to the truth than an old error.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every day I observe more and more the folly of judging of others by ourselves and I have so much trouble with myself, and my own heart is in such constant agitation, that I am well content to let others pursue their own course, if they only allow me the same privilege.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eigenen.He who is ignorant of foreign languages, knows not his own.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person hears only what they understand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Personality is everything in art and poetry.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The shudder of awe is humanity's highest faculty, Even though this world is forever altering its values.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One should not wish anyone disagreeable conditions of life but for him who is involved in them by chance, they are touchstones of characters and of the most decisive value to man.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is simpler than one can imagine, and yet complicated and inter-twined beyond comprehension.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Most pioneers are at the mercy of doubt at the beginning, whether of their worth, of their theories, or of the whole enigmatic field in which they labour.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
