More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Mozart is a human incarnation of the divine force of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It used to happen, and still happens, to me to take no pleasure in a work of art at the first sight of it, because it is too much for me but if I suspect any merit in it, I try to get at it and then I never fail to make the most gratifying discoveries--to find new qualities in the work itself and new faculties in myself.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Idea and experience will never coincide in the center only through art and action are they united.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A judge who cannot punish, in the end associates themselves with the criminal.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you have science and art, You also have religion But if you don't have them, You better have religion.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
By seeking and blundering we learn.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is better to be deceived by one's friends than to deceive them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Since Time is not a person we can overtake when he is gone, let us honor him with mirth and cheerfulness of heart while he is passing.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are our own aptest deceiver.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To create something you must be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All perishable is but an allegory.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Choose well. Your choice is brief, and yet endless.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Culture which smooth the whole world licks, Also unto the devil sticks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Light has called forth one organ to become its like, and thus the eye is formed by the light and for the light so that the inner light may emerge to meet the outer light.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Freedom consists not in refusing to recognize anything above us, but in respecting something which is above us for by respecting it, we raise ourselves to it, and, by our very acknowledgment, prove that we bear within ourselves what is higher, and are worthy to be on a level with it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If in the infinite you want to stride, Just walk in the finite to every side.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Help me to discover Thy truth, O Lord, and preserve me from those who have already found it
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it's the same with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are merely born with the capability to do it. The Skill to mold the material into what we want must be learned and attentively cultivated.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Just trust yourself and you'll learn the art of living.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
