Dear Diary,
I cannot write (if only write!), I want to break out of this vicious circle.
I found a consolation for the moment in a serious of beautiful pictures, some of them I am sharing on this web-site and I will continue quoting people who make me feel alive.
Quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“The man with insight enough to admit his limitations comes nearest to perfection.”
“I love those who yearn for the impossible.”
“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.”
“If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own.”
“We usually lose today, because there has been a yesterday, and tomorrow is coming.”
“You don’t have to travel around the world to understand that the sky is blue everywhere.”
“Everything is simpler than you think and at the same time more complex than you imagine.”
“There is nothing so terrible as activity without insight.”
“Nothing is more revolting than the majority; for it consists of few vigorous predecessors, of knaves who accommodate themselves, of weak people who assimilate themselves, and the mass that toddles after them without knowing in the least what it wants.”
“Our senses don’t deceive us: our judgment does.”
– Johann Wolfgang Goethe
