Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Everything in connection with something else

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | March 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 3)
In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in CONVERSATIONS OF GOETHE WITH JOHANN PETER ECKERMANN

Then we'll need no other light

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | January 2011 (Vol. XXIV, No. 1)

Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and then we'll need no other light.

Two graces in breathing

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe | July/August 2009 (Vol. XXII, No. 7)

There are two graces in breathing:
drawing in air and discharging it.
The former constrains, the latter refreshes:
so marvelously is life mixed.

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
