Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half, and quarter-mistakes to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place.
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
Of the book of books most wondrous is the tender book of love.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
