"Beauty is a primeval phenomenon, which itself..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Confronted by outstanding merit, there is no way of saving one's ego except by love”

“From desire I plunge to its fulfilment, where I long once more for desire.”

“Science has been seriously retarded by the study of what is not worth knowing and of what is not knowable.”

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.”

“Flowers so strictly belong to youth, that we adult men soon come to feel, that their beautiful generations concern not us: we havehad our day; now let the children have theirs. The flowers jilt us, and we are old bachelors with our ridiculous tenderness.”

“A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener.”

“Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man's will and his environment: in a word, of problem.”

“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.”

“Painting isn't made for the decoration of apartments; it is a weapon to be used offensively and defensively against the enemy.”
