"All poetry is supposed to be instructive..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“He only earns his freedom and his life Who takes them every day by storm.”

“Do thine own task, and be therewith content.”

“It is better for you to suffer an injustice than for the world to be without law. Therefore, let everyone submit to the law.”

“Poetry is one of the original arts, and it began, as did all the fine arts, within the original wilderness of the earth.”

“Good prose is written only face to face with poetry.”

“The language of the poem is the language of particulars.”

“We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.”

“It happens that once we learn a thing, the motivation to keep it up grows and expands further as well.If you're going through hell, keep going.”

“A gifted person ought to learn English (barring spelling and pronouncing) in thirty hours, French in thirty days, and German in thirty years.”
