from Johann

Wolfgang von Goethe

(1749-1832) born on Aug

28

German polymath, dramatist; considered to be Germany’s

greatest man of letters; originated the concept of World

Literature; best known for Faust, 1808.

The intelligent man finds

almost everything

ridiculous, the sensible man

hardly anything.

If any man wishes to

write a clear style, let him

first be clear in

his thoughts.

Daring ideas are like

chessmen moved

forward. They may be

beaten, but they may

start a winning game.

The most original of

authors are not so because they

advance what is

new, but because they know how to

say something, as if it had

never been said before.

Austere perseverance,

harsh and

continuous… rarely fails of

its purpose, for its silent power

grows irreversibly greater with

time.
