"Death is a commingling of eternity with time; in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time"

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

About this Quote

This quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe provides a provocative viewpoint on death and also the connection in between endless time and also time. The first component of the quote, "Death is a commingling of infinity with time," suggests that death acts as a bridge between the limited nature of our existence in time and the infinite realm of eternity. In this sense, death is a change factor that joins our temporal, mortal lives with the everlasting and boundless nature of infinity.

The second part of the quote, "in the fatality of a great guy, infinity is seen looking through time," stresses the lasting influence of a virtuous person's life. When a good individual dies, their actions, values, as well as the favorable influence they had on others remain to reverberate past their physical presence. This enduring tradition, which goes beyond time, offers a glance of eternity. To put it simply, the goodness and moral character of a person can serve as a reflection of infinity, as it leaves an imprint on the globe that continues even after their fatality.

Goethe's quote influences us to contemplate the much deeper significance of life as well as death, as well as the ways in which our activities and also character can have a long-term influence on the globe, connecting us to something higher than ourselves.
