Character develops itself in the stream of life. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

"In art the best is good enough."

"The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers & cities; but to know someone who thinks & feels with us, & who, though distant, is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden."

"Ohne Hast, aber ohne Rast. - Without haste, but without rest."

"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings."

"I love those who yearn for the impossible."
