All JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE Quotes about “Awareness”

“Someday perhaps the inner light will shine forth from us, and the we'll need no other light.”
“Quite often, as life goes on, when we feel completely secure as we go on our way, we suddenly notice that we are trapped in error, that we have allowed ourselves to be taken in by individuals, by objects, have dreamt up an affinity with them which immediately vanishes before our waking eye; and yet we cannot tear ourselves away, held fast by some power that seems incomprehensible to us. Sometimes, however, we become fully aware and realize that error as well as truth can move and spur us on to action.”
“The highest happiness of man ... is to have probed what is knowable and quietly to revere what is unknowable.”
“Does not man lack the force at the very point where he needs it most? And when he soars upward in joy, or sinks down in suffering, is not checked in both, is he not returned again to the dull, cold sphere of awareness, just when he was longing to lose himself in the fullness of the infinite.”
“Everything in science depends on what one calls an aperÃ§u, on becoming aware of what is at the bottom of the phenomena. Such becoming aware is infinitely fertile.”
