"Our destiny often looks like a fruit-tree in winter. Who would think from its pitiable aspect that those rigid boughs, those rough twigs could next spring again be green, bloom, and even bear fruit? Yet we hope it, we know it." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (b.1749-08-28, d. 1832-03-22) [I'm not certain which work i's in, and have not tracked this quote down in German.]

Chag sameach to everyone celebrating Tu B'Shevat tonight & tomorrow!

"Manchmal sieht unser Schicksal aus wie ein Fruchtbaum im Winter. Wer sollte bei dem traurigen An sehn [sic] desselben wohl denken, daß diese starren Äste, diese zackigen Zweige im nächsten Frühjahr wieder grünen, blühen, sodann Früchte tragen könnten, doch wir hoffen's, wir wissen's." Wilhelm Meisters Wanderjahre Vol. 1, ch. 12. Not in German Wikiquote.
