If you would create something,you must be something. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"By seeking and blundering we learn."

"Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go."

"It is after all the greatest art to limit and isolate oneself."

"Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires: beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go."

"Know thyself? If I knew myself, I'd run away."
