"The experiences show us just as we..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“How to please the public - that's the test, But nowadays I find I'm in a fix; I know they're not accustomed to the best, But they've all read so much they know the tricks. How can we give then something fresh and new That's serious, but entertaining too?”

“It is a mistake for a taciturn, serious-minded woman to marry a jovial man, but not for a serious-minded man to marry a lighthearted woman.”

“Impotent hatred is the most horrible of all emotions; one should hate nobody whom one cannot destroy.”

“As far as you can, get into the habit of asking yourself in relation to any action taken by another: "What is his point of reference here?" But begin with yourself: examine yourself first.”

“Our enemies' opinion of us comes closer to the truth than our own.”

“The ego is not only the unobserved mind, the voice in the head which pretends to be you, but also the unobserved emotions that are the body's reaction to what the voice in the head is saying.”

“An experience, perceptual or conceptual, must conform to reality in order to be true”

“One gains at least two to three times more experience grabbing the tiger by the tail than reading about it in a book.”

“Pleasant is the recollection of dangers past.”
