More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Painting and tattooing the body is a return to animalism.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gray are all the theories, But green is the tree of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
No one would talk much in society if they knew how often they misunderstood others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If God had wanted me otherwise, He would have created me otherwise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I do not now begin, - I still adore Her whom I early cherish'd in my breast Then once again with prudence dispossess'd, And to whose heart I'm driven back once more. The love of Petrarch, that all-glorious love, Was unrequited, and, alas, full sad.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The spectacle of Nature is always new, for she is always renewing the spectators. Life is her most exquisite invention and death is her expert contrivance to get plenty of life.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To live within limits. To want one thing. Or a few things very much and love them dearly. Cling to them, survey them from every angle. Become one with them - that is what makes the poet, the artist, the human being.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To the world you might be one person, but to one person, you might be the world. Kindness is the golden chain by which our world is bound together.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A person hears only what they understand.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Architecture is frozen music. [Ger., Die Backunst ist eine erstarrte Musik.]
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When Nature begins to reveal her open secret to a man, he feels an irresistible longing for her worthiest interpreter, Art.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Where a man has a passion for meditating without the capacity of thinking, a particular idea fixes itself fast, and soon creates a mental disease.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If a man or woman is born ten years sooner or later, their whole aspect and performance shall be different.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Excellence is rarely found, more rarely valued.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is as certain as it is strange that truth and error come from one and the same source. Thus it is that we are often not at liberty to do violence to error, because at the same time we do violence to truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When an idea is wanting, a word can always be found to take its place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
