"Collectors are happy people...." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“The greatest difficulties lie where we are not looking for them.”

“The mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.”

“Who enslaves another's manhood with weak human power alone, Lays a heavier yoke of bondage thoughtlessly upon his own.”

“It is impossible to win the great prizes of life without running risks, and the greatest of all prizes are those connected with the home.”

“Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body”

“Money is worth nothing if it can't buy you the opportunity to love more.”

“I will appoint captains to rule my cities, for it is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.”

“I had a dog who loved flowers. Briskly she went through the fields, yet paused for the honeysuckle or the rose, her dark head and her wet nose touching the face of every one with its petals of silk with its fragrance rising into the air where the bees, their bodies heavy with pollen hovered - and easily she adored every blossom not in the serious careful way that we choose this blossom or that blossom the way we praise or don't praise - the way we love or don't love - but the way we long to be - that happy in the heaven of earth - that wild, that loving.”

“What are you up to now?" "I'm sill crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it.”
