War is in truth a disease in which the juices that serve health and maintenance are used for the sole purpose of nourishing something foreign, something at odds with nature.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Nature is, after all, the only book that offers important content on every page.

The brilliant passes, like the dew at morn; The true endures, for ages yet unborn.

An angel! Nonsense! Everybody so describes his mistress; and yet I find it impossible to tell you how perfect she is, or why she is so perfect: suffice it to say she has captivated all my senses.

We amuse ourselves painting our prison-walls with bright figures and brilliant landscapes.

Man errs as long as he strives.

Our foibles are really what make us lovable.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The affairs of the world are ...

The affairs of the world are no more than so much trickery, and a man who toils for money or honour or whatever else in deference to the wishes of others, rather than because his own desire or needs lead him to do so, will always be a fool.

Since I have heard often enough that everyone in the end has his own religion, nothing seemed more natural to me than to fashion my own.

Individuality of expression is the beginning and end of all art.

He who knows no foreign languages knows nothing of his own.

As for solitude, I cannot understand how certain people seek to lay claim to intellectual stature, nobility of soul and strength of character, yet have not the slightest feeling for seclusion; for solitude, I maintain, when joined with a quiet contemplation of nature, a serene and conscious faith in creation and the Creator, and a few vexations from outside is the only school for a mind of lofty endowment.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The fate of the architect is ...

The fate of the architect is the strangest of all. How often he expends his whole soul, his whole heart and passion, to produce buildings into which he himself may never enter.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The worst is that the very ha...

The worst is that the very hardest thinking will not bring thoughts. They must come like good children of God and cry, "Here we are." You expend effort and energy thinking hard. Then, after you have given up, they come sauntering in with their hands in their pockets. If the effort had not been made to open the door, however, who knows when they could have come.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

The one who acts is always without conscience; nobody has a conscience but the contemplative person.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Here too it’s masquerade, I find: As everywhere, the dance of mind. I grasped a lovely masked procession, And caught things from a horror show… I’d gladly settle for a false impression, If it would last a little longer, though.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Judge a man's character by what he finds ridiculous.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

Accepting good advice means nothing other than to strengthen one's own ability.

Talent is nurtured in solitude; character is formed in the stormy billows of the world. [Ger., Es bildet ein talent sich in der Stille, Sich ein Charakter in dem Strom der Welt.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 2265 quotes

In every artist there is a touch of audacity without which no talent is conceivable.
