If I love you, what business is it of yours?

~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.

~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

I have so much in me, and the feeling for her absorbs it all; I have so much, and without her it all comes to nothing.

~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

You can’t, if you can’t feel it, if it neverRises from the soul, and swaysThe heart of every single hearer,With deepest power, in simple ways.You’ll sit forever, gluing things together,Cooking up a stew from other’s scraps,Blowing on a miserable fire,Made from your heap of dying ash.Let apes and children praise your art,If their admiration’s to your taste,But you’ll never speak from heart to heart,Unless it rises up from your heart’s space.

~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
