Additional quotes by Johann Gottfried Herder

Der Appetit nach einer schönen Frucht ist angenehmer als die Frucht selbst.

Every one loves his country, his manners, his language, his wife, his children; not because they are the best in the World, but because they are absolutely his own, and he loves himself and his own labours in them.

The craving for a delicate fruit is pleasanter than the fruit itself.
