Johan Wolfgang Von Goethe

The Sorrows of Young Werther

  • Sofía Escobarhas quoted3 years ago
    I sometimes cannot understand how she can love another, how she dares love another, when I love nothing in this world so completely, so devotedly, as I love her, when I know only her, and have no other possession.
  • the moon, like marigoldshas quoted6 months ago
    vowed this morning that I would not ride today, and yet every moment I am rushing to the window to see how high the sun is.

    What I have lately said of painting is equally true with respect to poetry. It is only necessary for us to know what is really excellent, and venture to give it expression; and that is saying much in few words. Today I have had a scene, which, if literally related, would, make the most beautiful idyl in the world. But why should I talk of poetry and scenes and idyls? Can we never take pleasure in nature without having recourse to art?

    but it is too much for my strength—I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions!
  • Jennyhas quoted10 months ago
    I have possessed that heart, that noble soul, in whose presence I seemed to be more than I really was, because I was all that I could be.
  • Mikaelahas quoted2 years ago
    Often do I strive to allay the burning fever of my blood; and you have never witnessed anything so unsteady, so uncertain, as my heart.
  • Hina Usmanhas quoted2 years ago
    only I must forget that there lie dormant within me so many other qualities which moulder uselessly, and which I am obliged to keep carefully concealed
  • Hina Usmanhas quoted2 years ago
    A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
  • dianahas quoted2 years ago
    when darkness overspreads my eyes, and heaven and earth seem to dwell in my soul and absorb its power, like the form of a beloved mistress, then I often think with longing, Oh, would I could describe these conceptions, could impress upon paper all that is living so full and warm within me, that it might be the mirror of my soul, as my soul is the mirror of the infinite God! O my friend—but it is too much for my strength—I sink under the weight of the splendour of these visions!
