"It is much easier to meet with..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“To be pleased with one's limits is a wretched state.”

“A word spoken is a terrible thing when it suddenly utters what the heart has long allowed.”

“There are two things parents should give their children roots and wings. Roots to give them bearing and a sense of belonging, but also wings to help free them from constraints and prejudices and give them other ways to travel (or rather, to fly).”

“Woe to falsehood! it affords no relief to the breast, like truth; it gives us no comfort, pains him who forges it, and like an arrow directed by a god flies back and wounds the archer.”

“Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables”

“Success has always been a great liar.”

“A half-educated physician is not valuable. He thinks he can cure everything.”

“I find in my own writing that only fiction - and rarely, a poem - fully tests me to the kind of limits of what I know and what I feel.”

“True wisdom is knowing what you don't know”
