Passing Dare Torment

More From Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Dare to be what you ought to be, dare to be what you dream to be, dare to be the finest you can be. the more you dare, the surer you will be of gaining just what you dare!
Dream Vision Finest
Michael robartes remembers forgotten beauty and, when his arms wrap her round, he presses in his arms the loveliness which has long faded from the world. not this. not at all. i desire to press in my arms the loveliness which has not yet come into the world.
Beauty Long Desire
I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. i hated the sunsets of whatever colour, i hated its beauty and its magic and the secret i would never know. i hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. above all i hated her. for she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. she had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what i had lost before i found it.

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. in a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. in a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. and in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
Inspirational Dream Hate
She had been so wicked that in all her life she had done only one good deed-given an onion to a beggar. so she went to hell. as she lay in torment she saw the onion, lowered down from heaven by an angel. she caught hold of it. he began to pull her up. the other damned saw what was happening and caught hold of it too. she was indignant and cried, "let go-it's my onion," and as soon as she said, "my onion," the stalk broke and she fell back into the flames.
Letting Go Angel Flames
Yet suppose further. suppose that all worlds, all universes, met at a single nexus, a single pylon, a tower. and within it, a stairway, perhaps rising to the godhead itself. would you dare climb to the top, gunslinger? could it be that somewhere above all of endless reality, there exists a room?...' you dare not.' and in the gunslinger's mind, those words echoed: you dare not.

In a sense it (christianity) creates, rather than solves, the problem of pain, for pain would be no problem unless side by side with our daily experience of this painful world, we had received what we think a good assurance that ultimate reality is righteousness and loving.
Pain Reality Thinking
Mankind's common instinct for reality has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. in heroism, we feel, life's supreme mystery is hidden. we tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. on the other hand, no matter what a man's frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.
Reality Men Hands
I don't have children, but my work life is as important to me as anything could be. i've dedicated a lot of time and energy and years to it. some might say some of my childbearing years to it. in and of itself, my work is like a child to me. that is my reality.
Children Reality Important
Generally speaking there is no irreducible taste or inclination. they all represent a certain appropriative choice of being. it is up to existential psychoanalysis to compare and classify them. ontology abandons us here; it has merely enabled us to determine the ultimate ends of human reality, its fundamental possibilities, and the value which haunts it.
