More quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
With knowledge comes more doubt.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Toleration ought in reality to be merely a transitory mood. It must lead to recognition. To tolerate is to affront.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Everything is both simpler than we can imagine and more entangled than we can conceive.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Art is constitutive-the artist determines beauty. He does not take it over.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
To make a young couple love each other, it is only necessary to oppose and separate them.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
What is my life if I am no longer useful to others.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The highest problem of any art is to cause by appearance the illusion of a higher reality.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Hatred is a heavy burden. It sinks the heart deep in the breast, and lies like a tombstone on all joys.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Boldness has power, magic and genius in it.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Self knowledge is best learned not by contemplation, but by action.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The flowers of life are but visionary. How many pass away and leave no trace behind! How few yield any fruit,--and the fruit itself, how rarely does it ripen! And yet there are flowers enough and is it not strange, my friend, that we should suffer the little that does really ripen to rot, decay, and perish unenjoyed?
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let there be truth between us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
And those whom once my song had cheered and gladdened, If still they live, rove through the world now saddened.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One glance, one word from you gives more pleasure than all the wisdom of this world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Say what we may of the inadequacy of translation, yet the work is and will always be one of the weightiest and worthiest undertakings in the general concerns of the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Unrest and uncertainty are our lot.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
All theory, my friend, is grey, But green is life's glad golden tree.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The whole art of living consists in giving up existence in order to exist.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The history of science is science itself the history of the individual, the individual.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
