summary:
  Other men are lenses through which we read our own minds. Each man seeks those of different quality from his own, and such as are good of their kind; that is, he seeks other men, and the otherest.

summary:
  In _Götz von Berlichingen_ Goethe had given expression to the ideals and emotions he had brought with him from Strassburg; Shakespeare and the memory of Friederike had been the main impulses to its production. In connection with his departure for Leipzig Goethe makes two confessions which are a striking commentary on the conditions of his home life in Frankfort.

summary:
  Pope certainly speaks of her under the name of Mrs. (_i. e._ Miss) W--, which at least argues a poetical exaggeration in describing her as a being that once had _titles_, honor, wealth, and fame; and he may as much have exaggerated her pretensions to beauty. Stratford are clear enough; but what motives determined his course _to_ London, and especially to the stage, still remains to be explained.

  Man or Matter Introduction to a Spiritual Understanding of Nature on the Basis of Goethe's Method of Training Observation and Thought

summary:
  Nature outside man had taught him that life on all levels takes it course in a perpetual interplay of opposites, manifested externally in an interplay of diastole and systole comparable to the process of breathing. Howard in a modest yet dignified way describes his Christian faith, his guide through all his relationships, whether to other men or to nature.10 A man comes before us who, untroubled by the prevailing philosophy of his day, was able to advance to the knowledge of an objective truth in nature, because he had the ability to carry religious experience even into his observation of the sense-world.

We also went together at other times, as well as during the play; and, even while the representations went on, he seldom left me in peace.
