Goethe Ruined My Life
'All theory is grey, only life is green'.
Some years ago I thought this up,
too easily impressed with myself,
wrote it down, told the family -
then found out that someone
else with a German name who
was actually German wrote this
before me, J.W. von Goethe.
So you haven't heard of him either?
