Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Nature does not suffer her veil to be taken from her, and what she does not choose to reveal to the spirit, thou wilt not wrest from her by levers and screws.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If in the infinite you want to stride, Just walk in the finite to every side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
