The most difficult thing is what is thought to be the simplest; to really see the things which are before your eyes.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheA word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIs it not enough that we cannot make one another happy, must we also rob one another of the pleasures that any heart may permit itself now and then? And name me a person who in a bad mood will be decent enough to hide it, to bear it alone, without destroying the joy around him. Is it not rather an inner dissatisfaction with our own unworthiness, a dislike of ourselves that is always associated with envy aggravated by foolish conceit? We see people happy and not made happy by us, and that is unbearable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
