Goethe on passion, 1

On September 17, 2020February 27, 2021 By Goethe GlobalIn passion

Great passions are diseases without hope.
What could cure them is what makes
them even more dangerous.

Große Leidenschaften sind Krankheiten ohne
Hoffnung. Was sie heilen könnte, macht sie
erst recht gefährlich.

-Maxims and Reflections, No. 23
Translated by Goethe Global.

No. 3172
