Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

When I consider the narrow limits within which our active and inquiring faculties are confined; when I see how all our energies are wasted in providing for mere necessities, which again have no further end than to prolong a wretched existence; and then that all our satisfaction concerning certain subjects of investigation ends in nothing better than a passive resignation... when I consider all this... I am silent. ✨ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (2016). THE SORROWS OF YOUNG WERTHER (Literary Classics Series): Historical Romance Novel, p.7, e-artnow
