Johann Wolfgang von quotes






"We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds;

our planet is the mental institution of the universe."

                

"Everything is simpler than you think
   and at the same time more complex than you imagine"

      "There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity."
  
"Do not give in too much to feelings.
An overly sensitive heart
is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth."



      "If your treat an individual ... as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be."


.
      "I love those who yearn for the impossible."
Doubt grows with knowledge."

      "To be loved for what one is, is the greatest exception. The great majority love in others only what they lend him, their own selves, their version of him."

      "I don't know a greater advantage, than to appreciate the worth of an enemy."

      "Hatred is something peculiar. You will always find it strongest and most violent where there is the lowest degree of culture."
      "If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own."

      "What is hardest of all? That which seems most simple: to see with your eyes what is before your eyes"

"This is the true measure of love: When we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will ever love in the same way after us"

"Our senses don't deceive us: our judgment does"
      "Difficulties increase the nearer we approach the goal"
