"Impotent hatred is the most horrible of..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“By seeking and blundering we learn.”

“The world remains ever the same.”

“We lay aside letters never to read them again, and at last we destroy them out discretion, and so disappears the most immediate breath of life, irrecoverably for ourselves and for others.”

“If you are leaving that sorrowful place with hate and anger against men, you are worthy of compassion; if you leave it with good will, gentleness and peace, you are better than any of us.”

“He who loves the bristle of bayonets only sees in the glitter what beforehand he feels in his heart. It is avarice and hatred; it is that quivering lip, that cold, hating eye, which built magazines and powder-houses.”

“A pessimist is a man who thinks everybody is as nasty as himself, and hates them for it.”

“These are facts the heart can feel; yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect.”

“The only business of the head in the world is to bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.”

“In music the passions enjoy themselves.”
