Famous quotes containing the words count and/or von:
“You must not count much upon what I can do or learn in New York.... Everything there disappoints me but the crowd; rather, I was disappointed with the rest before I came. I have no eyes for their churches, and what else they find to brag of. Though I know but little about Boston, yet what attracts me, in a quiet way, seems much meaner and more pretending than there,—libraries, pictures, and faces in the street. You don’t know where any respectability inhabits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We cannot remain long in a conscious state or in consciousness, we must take refuge again in the unconscious since there are our roots.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
