Famous quotes containing the word wolfgang:

    For thousands the world is a freak show, the images flicker past and disappear, the impressions remain flat and disconnected in the soul. Thus, they are easily led by the opinions of others, are willing to let their impressions be reordered, rearranged, and reevaluated.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
