Goethe Quotes

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (28 August 1749 – 22 March 1832) was a German writer and statesman. His works include four novels; epic and lyric poetry; prose and verse dramas; memoirs; an autobiography; literary and aesthetic criticism; and treatises on botany, anatomy, and color.

Goethe was also a cultural force, who argued that the organic nature of the land molded the people and their customs. He argued that laws could not be created by pure rationalism, since geography and history shaped habits and patterns.This stood in sharp contrast to the prevailing Enlightenment view that reason was sufficient to create well-ordered societies and good laws.
