"Everything great and intelligent is in the..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“What I possess I would gladly retain. Change amuses the mind, yet scarcely profits.”

“Any trifle is enough to entertain two lovers.”

“Art is a mediator of the unspeakable.”

“When we have intelligence resulting from sincerity, this condition is to be ascribed to nature; when we have sincerity resulting from intelligence, this condition is to be ascribed to instruction. But given the sincerity, and there shall be the intelligence; given the intelligence, and there shall be the sincerity.”

“Intelligence is so damn rare and the people who have it often have such a bad time with it that they get bitter or propagandistic and then it's not much use.”

“A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots.”

“All great men are partially inspired.”

“By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great.”

“Eh, brother, but nature has to be corrected and guided, otherwise we'd all drown in prejudices. Without that there wouldn't be even a single great man.”
