Additional quotes by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Whatever is the lot of humankind
I want to taste within my deepest self.
I want to seize the highest and the lowest,
to load its woe and bliss upon my breast,
and thus expand my single self titanically
and in the end go down with all the rest.
Faust, First Part · August 1, 1988 Verified in 1 source Sign up to see the complete provenance
