The phrase "You live a new life for every new language you speak. If you know only one language, you live only once" is commonly attributed to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. However, there is no definitive evidence that Goethe actually wrote or said this in any of his works or documented conversations.
It seems to be a paraphrase or an interpretation of ideas associated with Goethe, reflecting his admiration for linguistic and cultural exploration. Goethe often expressed the importance of learning languages and engaging with different cultures in his writings, but the exact phrasing might have evolved over time as a popular saying rather than a direct quote.
There are 287 postage stamps featuring Goethe, but it seems that his homeland issued the most.
