More by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe “He who does not think much of himself is much more esteemed than he imagines.” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe “The misery that oppresses you lies not in your profession but in yourself! What man in the world would not find his situation intolerable if he chooses a craft, an art, indeed any form of life, without experiencing an inner calling? Whoever is born with a talent, or to a talent, must surely find in that the most pleasing of occupations! Everything on this earth has its difficult sides! Only some inner drive - pleasure, love - can help us overcome obstacles, prepare a path, and lift as out of the narrow circle in which others tread out their anguished, miserable existences!” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe “Nothing is good for a nation but that which arises from its own core and its own general wants, without apish imitation of another.” — Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe More on Existence “Daring to reach, to climb, to crawl, to scratch, to get back up when you've been knocked down, to push forward - ever forward - to forgive. It means sacrificing everything if necessary, to carve out a place for your own existence. It means living.” “Death really did not matter to him but life did, and therefore the sensation he felt when they gave their decision was not a feeling of fear but of nostalgia.” “We are each of us like our little blue planet, hung in black space, upheld by nothing but our mutual reassurances, our loving lies.”
