Famous quotes by wolfgang von goethe:
“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)

—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“People can only live with their equals, and not even with them; for in the long run they cannot tolerate that someone is their equal.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
