Inspiring words and profound insights

The joy of literature is combined with timeless wisdom that great writers such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe recorded in their works. Goethe, one of the greatest German poets, proclaimed: "The best joys in the world are not entirely pure; the highest delight is also interrupted by our passions, by fate." Such words invite us to reflect on the complexity of feelings and at the same time reflect the artistic expression that the young authors choose to describe their world. It is often about the challenges of growing up and the pursuit of happiness, as is also suggested in Goethe's work. The connection of this literary tradition with today's creative processes of young people shows the lasting relevance of the words of great thinkers, such as World of quotes held on.
