"There is no surer method of evading..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“What by a straight path cannot be reached by crooked ways is never won.”

“You accuse a woman of wavering affections, but don't blame her; she is just looking for a consistent man.”

“Letters are among the most significant memorial a person can leave behind them.”

“It is necessary for us to explain the involuntary repugnance we possess for the nature and personality of the Jews. The Jews have never produced a true poet. Heinrich Heine reached the point where he duped himself into a poet, and was rewarded by his versified lies being set to music by our own composers. He was the conscience of Judaism, just as Judaism is the evil conscience of our modern civilization.”

“I thought of rhyme alone,For rhyme can beat a measure out of troubleAnd make the daylight sweet once more.”

“We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.”

“A friend, therefore, is a sort of paradox in nature. I who alone am, I who see nothing in nature whose existence I can affirm with equal evidence to my own, behold now the semblance of my being, in all its height, variety, and curiosity, reiterated in a foreign form; so that a friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature.”

“It was in their friendship they just wanted to run forever, shadow and shadow.”

“A friend is what the heart needs all the time.”
