"Nothing will change the fact that I..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The highest happiness, the purest joys of life, wear out at last.”

“People are always talking about originality, but what do they mean? As soon as we are born, the world begins to work upon us, and this goes on to the end.”

“We're only really thinking when we can't think out fully what we are really thinking about!”

“If you are alone you belong entirely to yourself.”

“I am alone with the masses.”

“I suppose society is wonderfully delightful. To be in it is merely a bore. But to be out of it is simply a tragedy.”

“When we are high and airy hundreds sayThat if we hold that flight they'll leave the place,While those same hundreds mock another dayBecause we have made our art of common things.”

“The greatest thing by far is to have a command of metaphor. This alone cannot be imparted by another; it is the mark of genius, for to make good metaphors implies an eye for resemblances.”

“He lives the poetry that he cannot write. The others write the poetry that they dare not realize”
