Memorable Quotations: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Memorable Quotations: Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) was a German poet, dramatist, novelist, and scientist. His poetry conveys a modern observation of humanityâ€™s connection to nature, history, and society; his plays and novels reveal a deep understanding of human individualism. Goetheâ€™s significance can be assessed by the weight of his critical writings, his immense correspondence, and his poetry, dramas, and novels upon the authors of his own time and upon the literary movements which he initiated and of which he was the leading individual. According to the 19th-century English critic Matthew Arnold, Goethe must be deemed not only â€œthe manifest center of German literatureâ€ but one of the most multitalented notables in all world literature.
