In art the best is good enough. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"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."

"If I love you, what business is it of yours?"

"The biggest problem with every art is by the use of appearance to create a loftier reality."

"The way you see people is the way you treat them and the way you treat them is what they become."

"To witness two lovers is a spectacle for the gods."
