"Everything is simpler than one can imagine,..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing”

“How marvelous, wide and broad is my Inheritance! Time is my property, my estate is time.”

“I curse all negative purism that tells me not to use a word from another language that either expresses something that my own language cannot or does that in a more delicate manner.”

“For nothing was simply one thing.”

“So their combinations with themselves and with each other give rise to endless complexities, which anyone who is to give a likely account of reality must survey.”

“We must never forget that human motives are generally far more complicated than we are apt to suppose, and that we can very rarely accurately describe the motives of another.”

“Whatever you do, whatever you're working with, whether it's manual work or talking to people or buying or selling, every little thing encompasses the power and simplicity of presence.”

“I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree~ And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.”

“Until I was a teenager, I used red pokeberries for lipstick and a burnt matchstick for eyeliner. I used honeysuckle for perfume.”
