Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do not hurry do not rest.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I wait for the morning of my tears
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My poor head is in such a whirl, my mind is all in bits.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What matters in art is not thinking but making.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
So long as you live and work, you will be misunderstood to that you must resign yourself once and for all. Be silent!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One must not criticize that which is common since it remains always the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The Evil One has left, the evil ones remain.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And I like those authors best whose scenes describe my own situation in life-- and the friends who are about me whose stories touch me with interest, from resembling my own homely existence.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Then to the depths! - I could as well say height: It's all the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Don't judge anyone harshly until you yourself have been through his experiences
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Beauty can never really understand itself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
True works of art are a manifestation of the higher laws of nature.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves otherwise, we harden.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are not all equal, nor can we be so.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The older we get the more we must limit ourselves if we wish to be active.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
