Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Love does not dominate; it cultivates.

Live dangerously and you live right.

One can be instructed in society, one is inspired only in solitude.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

I don't like to get in front of people.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
