"Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent"
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
About this Quote
This quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe talks to the concept that humans have developed lots of things on the planet, however in the end, we are still based on them. This might describe the environment, innovation, or even other individuals. We have produced a world that has lots of resources, however we are still dependent on them for our survival. We have produced technology that has made our lives much easier, but we are still based on it to work correctly. We have produced relationships with other people, however we are still dependent on them for emotional assistance and companionship. In the end, we are still depending on the important things we have actually developed, and we should take care of them in order for them to take care of us.
