All theory is gray, my friend. But forever green is the tree of life. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
If you had swum across the furthest ocean
And seen the vastness of infinity
Though dread of death might seize you, you'd still see
The rolling waves in never-ceasing motion
You'd still see something: Schools of dolphins swimming
Across the green and placid waters, skimming
The clouds, the sun and the moon, stars overhead -
You will see nothing in that void all round
You will not hear your footsteps where you tread
Beneath your feet, you'll feel no solid ground ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
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. ~ Ghadirian
Faust Goethe quotes by Ghadirian
I call architecture frozen music. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
To quit smoking, you must first want to quit, but then you must also do the quitting ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
All theory is gray, but the tree of life, my friend, is green. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The deepest, the only theme of human history, compared to which all others are of subordinate importance, is the conflict of scepticism with faith. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Nietzsche ... argues that all that passes in the life of a society is ephemeral and banausic except for the presence of great personalities, of men like Goethe ... who seem to forge their own destinies, who seem to move unhampered by those burdens of existence which keep most men from rising above the vicissitudes of their daily toil. ~ John Carroll
Faust Goethe quotes by John Carroll
I have been grateful for the influence of my grandmother and my grandfather in my life. I remember my grandmother as a queenly woman. My father could be stern, and my grandparents would remind him that we were just boys. ~ James E. Faust
Faust Goethe quotes by James E. Faust
Habit is the most imperious of all masters. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Even people who are entirely strange and indifferent to one another will exchange confidences if they live together for a while, and a certain intimacy is bound to develop. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Aptitudes are assumed, they should become accomplishments. That is the purpose of all education. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
In society every man is taken for what he gives himself out to be; but he must give himself out to be something. Better to be slightly disagreeable than altogether insignificant. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
That which disturbs your soul, you must not suffer ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
O my Charlotte, the sacred, tender remembrance! Gracious Heaven! restore to me the happy moment of our first acquaintance.
I smile at the suggestions of my heart, and obey its dictates.
their hearts do not beat in unison
I turned my face away. She should not act thus. She ought not to excite my imagination with such displays of heavenly innocence and happiness, nor awaken my heart from its slumbers, in which it dreams of the worthlessness of life! And why not? Because she knows how much I love her.
I possess so much, but my love for her absorbs it all. I possess so much, but without her I have nothing.
My dear friend, my energies are all prostrated: she can do with me what she pleases. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Renunciation, The Natural Daughter demonstrates, is the act of those who believe that their happiness is dependent on a power beyond their control which happens at a particular time, and for reasons which they cannot penetrate, not to permit them fulfilment, and this is the fundamental reason for Goethe's imperviousness to philosophies of history which do not acknowledge either the inscrutability of fate or the contingency of circumstance.

The image of perfect beauty for Goethe is permanently recoverable, provided only that fate and circumstances are favourable, for they are the powers that direct the real world, in which alone fulfilment is worth having.

Renunciation is the silence that acknowledges the absence from reality of the Ideal, and it may be interrupted only by the poem that celebrates the epiphany for which even the hope may not be uttered.

Conversely, poems, being all of them occasional poems, and expressing delight in a glimpse of beauty recovered, thanks to favourable circumstances, are an emblem, or 'talisman', of a 'counter÷magic which works against the hostility of fate.

Bitter though the disappointments of life may be for a noble nature, a poem expresses the miracle of a moment in which the Ideal enters reality once more and the powers that rule the world take on, however fleetingly, the constellation they had in paradise. In the poems he has still to write, Goethe can hope to glimpse again what he has renounce ~ Nicholas Boyle
Faust Goethe quotes by Nicholas Boyle
Behavior is a mirror in which every one shows his image. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
True works of art contain their own theory and give us the measurement according to which we should judge them. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
We Germans will never produce another Goethe, but we may produce another Caesar. ~ Oswald Spengler
Faust Goethe quotes by Oswald Spengler
I believe our differences are the little pinches of salt that can make the marriage seem more flavorful. ~ James E. Faust
Faust Goethe quotes by James E. Faust
This sentence is made of lead (and a sentence of lead gives a reader an entirely different sensation from one made of magnesium). This sentence is made of yak wool. This sentence is made of sunlight and plums. This sentence is made of ice. This sentence is made from the blood of the poet. This sentence was made in Japan. This sentence glows in the dark. This sentence was born with a caul. This sentence has a crush on Norman Mailer. This sentence is a wino and doesn't care who knows it. Like many italic sentences, this one has Mafia connections. This sentence is a double Cancer with a Pisces rising. This sentence lost its mind searching for the perfect paragraph. This sentence refuses to be diagrammed. This sentence ran off with an adverb clause. This sentence is 100 percent organic: it will not retain a facsimile of freshness like those sentences of Homer, Shakespeare, Goethe et al., which are loaded with preservatives. This sentence leaks. This sentence doesn't look Jewish... This sentence has accepted Jesus Christ as its personal savior. This sentence once spit in a book reviewer's eye. This sentence can do the funky chicken. This sentence has seen too much and forgotten too little. This sentence is called "Speedoo" but its real name is Mr. Earl. This sentence may be pregnant. This sentence suffered a split infinitive - and survived. If this sentence has been a snake you'd have bitten it. This sentence went to jail with Clifford Irving. This sentence went to Woodstock. And ~ Tom Robbins
Faust Goethe quotes by Tom Robbins
Where confidence is wanting, the most beautiful flower in the garland of love is missing. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
We know accurately only when we know little, with knowledge doubt increases. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
What do people mean when they talk about unhappiness? It is not so much unhappiness as impatience that from time to time possesses men, and then they choose to call themselves miserable. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
At all times it has not been the age, but individuals alone, who have worked for knowledge. It was the age which put Socrates to death by poison, the age which burnt Huss. The ages have always remained alike. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Think of you! I do not think of you; you are always before my soul. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
It will be! the mass is working clearer!
Conviction gathers, truer, nearer!
The mystery which for Man in Nature lies
We dare to test, by knowledge led;
And that which she was wont to organize
We crystallize, instead. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Many hammer all over the wall and believe that with each blow they hit the nail on the head. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The rose is wont with pride to swell, and ever seeks to rise. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
If we meet someone who owes us a debt of gratitude, we remember the fact at once. How often we can meet someone to whom we owe a debt of gratitude without thinking about it at all! ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Give me one of those bottles of water. My mouth tastes like demon ass.-Dean ~ Christa Faust
Faust Goethe quotes by Christa Faust
No doubt you are right ... there would be far less suffering amongst mankind if men ... did not employ their imaginations so assiduously in recalling the memory of past sorrow, instead of bearing their present lot with equanimity. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
God and His Son are glorified personages. God the Father is our living Creator, and His Son, Jesus Christ, is our Savior and Redeemer. We have been created in God's image. ~ James E. Faust
Faust Goethe quotes by James E. Faust
The history of knowledge is a great fugue in which the voices of the nations one after the other emerge. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
One usually thinks people to be more dangerous than they are. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
I just want a soft creature with shiny eyes to lay with in the dark, the glint of her eyes reflected back at mine, a last few whispers, a kiss goodnight, to calm me down but most of all … to make me feel alive when morning shines. ~ John Zelazny
Faust Goethe quotes by John Zelazny
What we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Obedience brings peace in decision making. If we have firmly made up our minds to follow the commandments, we will not have to redecide which path to take when temptation comes our way. ~ James E. Faust
Faust Goethe quotes by James E. Faust
In reality," he told Paulina, after knowing her a short time, "endings are unworthy of art. Works of art are always unfinished. Whoever creates them is never sure of having finished them. The same is true of all the best things in life. Goethe, even though he was a German, was right about this: 'Every beginning is beautiful, but one must stop on the threshold. ~ Angeles Mastretta
Faust Goethe quotes by Angeles Mastretta
Only the soul that loves is happy ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The little man is still a man. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Everything that frees our spirit without giving us control of ourselves is ruinous. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
It is a misfortune to pass at once from observation to conclusion, and to regard both as of equal value; but it befalls many a student. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Doubt can only be removed by action. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Squeezing yourself to ooze out the last ounce of sex allure is terribly hard. I'd like to do roles like Julie in Bury the Dead, Gretchen in Faust and Teresa in Cradle Song. ~ Marilyn Monroe
Faust Goethe quotes by Marilyn Monroe
It's not for Zeus's daughter to be A prey to common fears, I never feel Chill fingered panic's touch. But the horrors Creeping out of Old Night's womb Since the first beginnings of all things, 8940 With shapes as many as the fiery vapors Billowing from a crater's fiery mouth, Make even heroes' hearts turn faint. When ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Mysterious in the light of day, nature retains her veil, despite our clamours: That which she does not willingly display cannot be wrenched from her with levers, screws and hammers. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Thought expands, but paralyzes; action animates, but narrows. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Faust Goethe quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
