"No one is willing to believe that..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The realization of the self is only possible if one is productive, if one can give birth to one's own potentialities.”

“Tolerance comes of age. I see no fault committed that I myself could not have committed at some time or other.”

“A word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.”

“Put yourself in the other man's place and then you will know why he thinks certain things and does certain deeds.”

“Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.”

“There is no opinion so stupid that it can't be expressed by some philosopher.”

“Now, in the sixties we were naive, like children. Everybody went back to their rooms and said 'We didn't get a wonderful world of just flowers and peace and happy chocolate, and it won't be just pretty and beautiful all the time,' and just like babies everyone went back to their rooms and sulked. 'We're going to stay in our rooms and play rock and roll and not do anything else, because the world's a nasty horrible place, because it didn't give us everything we cried for.' Right? Crying for it wasn't enough.”

“I'm too busy acting like I'm not Naive. I've seen it all, I was here first.”

“In most cases, people, even wicked people, are far more naive and simple-hearted than one generally assumes. And so are we.”
