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.

Perseverance is a positive, active characteristic.

As a rule, there is no surer way to the dislike of men than to behave well where they have behaved badly.

I've always slightly envied other actors I know who have different reputations. I think, 'God, you don't get people coming up to you, going, 'Hey!' - because they're scared of you.'
