A brief overview of Johann Goethe.



Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (August 28, 1749-22 March 1832)

Is one of Germany's most distinguished authors, who has left a huge literary and cultural legacy for the German and World Library, and has a profound influence on poetic, literary and philosophical life, 

And still remembers his timeless works, still held by the world's bookshelves as one Goethe's literature varied from novel to theatrical writing to poetry, and I was creative in each of them.

 He cared about Eastern culture and literature and looked at many books, so he was wide-minded, coming to knowledge, and in his studies.

Top quotes.

The clarity of purpose in a man is reassuring and leads to happiness.

When all eyes sleep, the eyes of love alone stay awake.

Every day, a person should hear a little music, read a good poem, see a beautiful picture, and say if 
possible a few reasonable words.

The person only hears what he understands.
If you want to live should be to have confidence in yourself first.
Beauty is a welcome guest everywhere.
Behavior is the mirror that shows everyone's image.
Common sense is human genius.
The wisdom actually exists only.
The deepest subject in human history is the struggle of doubt and certainty.
It would be a mistake to have the most important things at the mercy of the less important.
You can make beauty even out of stones that put you in the way.

Religion and politics.

The house was dominated by a strict sense of Torah, and this played a role in the religious upbringing of the children.

 Every day there was a period for reading and studying the Bible, and Sunday prayers were sacred. 

One of the first things to shake the boy's faith was the news of the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon, in which God destroyed both believers and non-believers, he said, and the father's answer did not eliminate the boy's confusion about this idea.

In the religious lessons that Goethe was listening to from a friend of the family, Johann Philip Fresenius, and his uncle, Johann James Stark, Goethe found no satisfactory answer to his questions, which filled himself and his spirit with uncertainty. 

Goethe later said: “The Protestant Church was nothing but a kind of dry ethic, the church sermons were not thought-provoking, and the teachings could not please life.”

Goethe was only interested in the Old Testament. The stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob evoked his wild imagination. 

His view of the church and its doctrines remained confused and suspicious, and was subsequently rejected. 

Goethe described the history of the church as a “mixture of disinformation and authoritarianism,” and the most important thing he had to do with the Lotus Orthodox, the issue of inherited sin, which was also a major factor in his estrangement from the church.

The parameters of change that swept the world began then, starting with the French Revolution in France,

Its three principles, the establishment of the United States in North America, and even in the Swiss city of Geneva in 1782.

It became clear that the peoples began to revolt against feudalism and feudalism, and began to demand freedom and a just republic.

But Goethe didn't like revolutions, in history as in geology.

 He was opposed to it, and this led to the dissatisfaction of the people with him, and to the fact that he became the old author of Fater, Gotes and Evgenia, to what he has now become.

In 1792, Goethe joined his friend, the Duke Carl August, who was passionate about military matters, in the military campaign in France, and witnessed the failure of the Feudal and Reactionary Forces Alliance. 

He was in Mainz in 1793 and witnessed the siege of the city by the first German republic. And he started writing at that time on a scientific topic that he never had before, “Color Science.”

In one area, Johann Goethe got a severe cold. Every day the disease progressed and eventually became the cause of the death of the great writer.

He died on March 22, 1832, at the age of 82. His last words were: “Please close the window.”
