“Say what you will of fortitude, but show me the man who can patiently endure the laughter of fools when they have obtained an advantage over him. 'Tis only when their nonsense is without foundation that one can suffer it without complaint.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

“‎It has ever been my fate to give pain to those whose happiness I should have promoted.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther

“I wish I wrote the way I thought
Obsessively
Incessantly
With maddening hunger
I’d write to the point of suffocation
I’d write myself into nervous breakdowns
Manuscripts spiralling out like tentacles into abysmal nothing
And I’d write about you
a lot more
than I should”
― Benedict Smith

“I was oppressed with the sensations I then felt; I sunk under the weight of them.”
― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther
