Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Certain books seem to be written, not that we might learn from them, but in order that we might see how much the author knows.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I have found among my papers a sheet . . . in which I call architecture frozen music.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We can redeem anyone who strives unceasingly.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
