“Thinking is easy, acting difficult, and to put one's thoughts into actions the most difficult thing in the world.” InspirationalLife LessonsDeepGerman PoetOld Quote Author:German poet Goethe 17491832
“Like Hamlet, Goethe's Faust offers a wide panorama of scenes from the vulgar to the sublime, with passages of wondrous poetry that can be sensed even through the veil of translation. And it also preserves the iridescence of its modern theme. From it Oswald Spengler christened our Western culture 'Faustian,' and others too have found it an unexcelled metaphor for the infinitely aspiring always dissatisfied modern self. Goethe himself was wary of simple explanations. When his friends accused him of incompetence in metaphysics, he replied. 'I, being an artist, regard this as of little moment. Indeed, I prefer that the principle from which and through which I work should be hidden from me.” Literary CriticismHamletFaustGoetheFaustianOswald SpenglerGerman Poet Book:The Creators: A History of Heroes of the Imagination Source: The Creators: A History of Heroes of the Imagination
