People/Johann Wolfgang von Goethe/Quote
Music, in the best sense, does not require novelty; no, the older it is, and the more we are accustomed to it, the greater its effect.
Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.
That is the true season of love, when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved so before us, and that no one will love in the same way after us.
Divide and rule, a sound motto. Unite and lead, a better one.
