The miller imagines that the corn grows only to make his mill turn.

I will say with Lorenzo de Medici that those who do not hope for another life are always dead to this one.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Art is a severe business; mos...

Art is a severe business; most serious when employed in grand and sacred objects. The artist stands higher than art, higher than the object. He uses art for his purposes, and deals with the object after his own fashion.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Higher yet and higher out of ...

Higher yet and higher out of clouds and night, nearer yet and nearer rising to the light - light, serene and holy where my soul may rest, purified and lowly, sanctified and blest.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Most pioneers are at the merc...

Most pioneers are at the mercy of doubt at the beginning, whether of their worth, of their theories, or of the whole enigmatic field in which they labour.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The true, prescriptive artist...

The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

It is commonly the personal c...

It is commonly the personal character of a writer which gives him his public significance. It is not imparted by his genius. Napoleon said of Corneille, "Were he living I would make him a king;" but he did not read him. He read Racine, yet he said nothing of the kind of Racine.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Alas, that we should be so un...

Alas, that we should be so unwilling to listen to the still and holy yearnings of the heart! A god whispers quite softly in our breast, softly yet audibly; telling us what we ought to seek and what to shun.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Waste not a day in vain digre...

Waste not a day in vain digression; with resolute, courageous trust seek every possible impression and make it firmly your posession you'll then work on because you must.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The important thing is not to...

The important thing is not to know more than all men, but to know more at each moment than any particular man.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Let us seek to fathom those t...

Let us seek to fathom those things that are fathomable and reserve those things which are unfathomable for reverence in quietude.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The history of a man is in hi...

The history of a man is in his character.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

In art, to express the infini...

In art, to express the infinite one should suggest infinitely more than is expressed.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Man believes himself always greater than he is, and is esteemed less than he is worth.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

An actor should take lessons ...

An actor should take lessons from a painter and a sculptor.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

What dazzles, for the moment ...

What dazzles, for the moment spends its spirit; Whats genuine, shall posterity inherit.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Hypotheses are only the piece...

Hypotheses are only the pieces of scaffolding which are erected round a building during the course of construction, and which are taken away as soon as the edifice is completed.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The little that is completed,...

The little that is completed, vanishes from the sight of one who looks forward to what is still to do.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Everything perfect in its kin...

Everything perfect in its kind has to transcend its own kind, it must become something different and incomparable. In some notes the nightingale is still a bird; then it rises above its class and seems to suggest to every winged creature what singing is truly like.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Tolerance should really only ...

Tolerance should really only be a passing attitude: it should lead to appreciation. To tolerate is to offend.
