"For the nature of a women is..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than malice and wickedness.”

“This being busied with thoughts of immortality is for the noble classes and especially for women with nothing to do. A solid person, though, someone who already intends to be something worthy here, and who therefore has to strive daily, has to struggle and work, gives the world to come a rest.”

“To make a young couple love each other, it is only necessary to oppose and separate them.”

“Women have been a ghastly nuisance in my life.”

“Women's glances express what they dare not speak.”

“On one issue, at least, men and women agree. They both distrust women.”

“That is what all poets do: they talk to themselves out loud; and the world overhears them. But it's horribly lonely not to hear someone else talk sometimes.”

“Was not writing poetry a secret transaction, a voice answering a voice?”

“As an artist, all I need is my paints and brushes - and someone to drag me away when the canvas is done”
