Goethes Briefwechsel mit einem Kinde Quotes

“What are all the frocks of his youthfull loves in comparison with my floating garments? Do not say that your son is too good for me, when I run myself into such danger for a violet! I attach myself to the epoch of sensitive romance, and come luckily on Werther, where by the bye I feel much inclined to turn Charlotte out of doors. Your Son’s taste in that “white gown with pink ribbands” is bad. I will never during my life wear a white gown, green — green — all my clothes are green!”
― Bettina von Arnim, Goethe's Correspondence With A Child
