Whoso is content with pure experience and acts upon it has enough of truth.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIt has ever been my fate to give pain to those whose happiness I should have promoted.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheThe intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheI am a part of the part that at first was all, part of the darkness that gave birth to the light, that supercilious light which now disputes with Mother Night her ancient rank and space, and yet cannot succeed; no matter how it struggles, it sticks to matter and can't get free. Light flows from substance, makes it beautiful.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
