Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Mountain Quotations

Mountains cannot be surmounted except by winding paths.

From inaccessible mountain range by way of desert untrod by human foot to the ends of the unknown seas, the breath of the everlasting creative spirit is felt, rejoicing over every speck of dust that hearkens to it and lives.

Over all the mountain tops is peace.

On every mountain height is rest.

Time does not relinquish its rights, either over human beings or over mountains.
