Last Updated on 06/03/2024


Discover my 11 best and more Goethe quotes that are the most inspirational and will remind you of quotes from subsequent authors. One of the books that I want to read, but I didn’t make it until now, is The Italian Journey by the German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It’s one of his most inspirational works because it is based on the letters he wrote while traveling to Italy. He wanted to fulfill his personal and artistic quests and leave behind the fame and his duties in his country. It’s always interesting to read the journals of others, especially of great novelists and poets, like Goethe.
