Alas that the friend of my youth* has gone—alas that I ever knew her. I might say to myself, you are a fool, you are searching for something which is not to be found on earth.

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Deine Freunde ehren dich! Du machts oft ihre Freude, und deinem Herzen scheint es, als wenn es ohne sie nichts sein könnte; und doch - wenn du nun gingst, wenn du aus diesem Kreise scheidest? Würden sie, wie lange würden sie die Lücke fühlen, die dein Verlust in ihr Schicksal reißt?

~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
In vain do I stretch out my arms toward her when I awaken in the morning from my weary slumbers. In vain do I seek for her at night in my bed, when some innocent dream has happily deceived me, and placed her near me in the fields, when I have seized her hand and covered it with countless kisses. And when I feel for her in the half confusion of sleep, with the happy sense that she is near, tears flow from my oppressed heart; and, bereft of all comfort, I weep over my future woes.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
She could not help recalling the bustling which had attended Eduard's celebration of her own birthday, she could not help thinking of the newly erected pavilion under whose roof they had promised themselves so much pleasure. The fireworks exploded again before her eyes and in her ears; the lonelier she was, the more she lived in imagination; yet the more she lived in imagination, the more alone she felt. She leaned upon his arm no more, and had no hope of ever being able to lean on it again.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Ach! Er ist tot! Wie dauert er mich! Wie bin ich bekümmert!

Nada me aborrece mais do que ver as pessoas se atormentarem umas as outras: e sobretudo os jovens, na primavera da vida, quando o coração podia desabrochar todas as alegrias, estragarem reciprocamente os seus melhores dias para reconhecer mais tarde que esbanjaram bens que nunca mais serão recuperados.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Quel gesto gli lacerò il cuore
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Minden, minden elmúlt! Semmi jele annak a volt világnak, egyetlen szívdobbanás sem maradt akkori érzéseimb?l. Mintha kísértet volnék, amely visszatér kiégett, romos kastélyába, dús fejedelem korában maga építette, tündökl?n fölékesített palotájába, amelyet haldoklásában is reménnyel telve hagyott szeretett fiára.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Gitti huzurum, A??rla?t? yüre?im, Bulamayaca??m onu bir daha Bir daha asla. Onun bana ait olmad??? yerde Mezar da, Bütün dünya da De?ildir umurumda. Zavall? ba??m Yerinde de?il, Zavall? akl?m, Oldu parça parça.
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
My mother helped me to get past that. She was always there for me, until she dies. I remember she told me once, about big hearts and small hearts, and that not everyone could be blessed with a big one that had room to care for a lot of people. She promised me that mine was big, and that I was the lucky one for it.
~ Johanna Lindsey
