Cat Whispurrer "To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult." – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Von Goethe, the multitalented and prolific author and scientist, is best known for the play Faust, which has been adapted into operas, films, and novels. He was born in 1749 in Frankfurt, Germany. An unhappy love affair inspired his first play; his similarly themed novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther, created the prototype of the romantic hero. He also invented the color wheel concept of light and made important discoveries in plant and human biology. He died in 1832.
