In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheBy the artist's seizing any one object from nature, that object no longer is part of nature. One can go so far as to say that theartist creates the object in that very moment by emphasizing its significant, characteristic, and interesting aspects or, rather, by adding the higher values.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheEverything in science depends on what one calls an aperรงu, on becoming aware of what is at the bottom of the phenomena. Such becoming aware is infinitely fertile.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheNothing is worth more than this day. You cannot relive yesterday. Tomorrow is still beyond your reach.
