HIS EVALUATION OF OTHER ARTISTS
Johann Volfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
"According to me, Faust is somewhat like a carob. One has to eat a truckload of firewood and to chew it, too. But the taste one gets after chewing a truckload of firewood and chunks of all kinds of wood is marvellous in many ways. Faust's philosophy is idealistic, however his method is dialectical. In Faust, there are the ambitions and desires of a whole historical period."
