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 from a painter and a sculptor.

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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

We learn to treasure what is ...

We learn to treasure what is above this earth; we long for revelation, which nowhere burns more purely and more beautifully than in the New Testament.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Sweet moonlight, shining full...

Sweet moonlight, shining full and clear, Why do you light my torture here? How often have you seen me toil, Burning last drops of midnight oil. On books and papers as I read, My friend, your mournful light you shed. If only I could flee this den And walk the mountain-tops again, Through moonlit meadows make my way, In mountain caves with spirits play - Released from learning's musty cell, Your healing dew would make me well!

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Truth is contrary to our natu...

Truth is contrary to our nature, not so error, and this for a very simple reason: truth demands that we should recognize ourselves as limited, error flatters us that, in one way or another, we are unlimited.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Alas, I have studied philosop...

Alas, I have studied philosophy, the law as well as medicine, and to my sorrow, theology; studied them well with ardent zeal, yet here I am, a wretched fool, no wiser than I was before.

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.

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

What dazzles, for the moment ...

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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Most man only care for science so far as they get a living by it, and that they worship even error when it affords them a subsistence.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

I am fully convinced that the soul is indestructible, and its activity will continue through eternity.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Properly speaking, we learn from those books only that we cannot judge. The author of a book that I am competent to criticise would have to learn from me.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Enjoy what thou has inherited...

Enjoy what thou has inherited from thy sires if thou wouldn't really possess it. What we employ and use is never an oppressive burden; what the moment brings forth, that only can it profit by.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

If each one does their duty a...

If each one does their duty as an individual and if each one works in their own proper vocation, it will be right with the whole.
