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
Like the star that shines afar, Without haste and without rest, Let each one wheel with steady sway Round the task that rules the day, And do their best.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Great thoughts and a pure heart, that is what we should ask from God.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In art, the best is good enough.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Kindness is the golden thread that holds society together.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
