Now the eye at once gleams brightly, See! the infant band with mirth Moves and dances nimbly, lightly, As the morning gave it birth, Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

What is not fully understood is not possessed.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The world remains ever the same.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
There is nothing new on earth / For a person who lives long and experiences much. / In my years of youthful wandering / I have seen crystallized people.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Let us live, while we are alive!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
