Goethe on Nature and Art

"Supreme works of art, like the most sublime products of Nature, are created by man in conformity with true and natural Law. All that is arbitrary, all that is invented, collapses: there is Necessity, there is God.”

These thoughts are inscribed in Goethe's Diary of his “Italian Journey” under the date, 6th September, 1787.
