"Upon the creatures we have made, we..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Fools and wise men are equally harmless. It is the half-fools and half-wise that are dangerous.”

“Is this the destiny of man? Is he only happy before he has acquired his reason or after he has lost it?”

“A creation of importance can only be produced when its author isolates himself, it is a child of solitude.”

“The mind, in short, works on the data it receives very much as the sculptor works on his block of stone.”

“It must be understood that prime matter, and form as well, is neither generated nor corrupted, because every generation is from something to something. Now that from which generation proceeds is matter, and that to which it proceeds is form. So that, if matter or form were generated, there would be a matter for matter and a form for form, endlessly. Whence, there is generation only of the composite, properly speaking.”

“What saved me then? Nothing but pregnancy. And each time after I had given birth to my work my life hung suspended by a thin thread.”

“And before you finish eating breakfast in the morning, you've depended on more than half of the world. This is the way our universe is structured, this is its interrelated quality.”

“We do not quite forgive a giver. The hand that feeds us is in some danger of being bitten. We can receive anything from love, forthat is a way of receiving it from ourselves; but not from any one who assumes to bestow. We sometimes hate the meat which we eat, because there seems something of degrading dependence in living it.”

“A woman can't be alone. She needs a man. A man and a woman support and strengthen each other. She just can't do it by herself.”
