"What am I then...? Everything that I..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“What we agree with leaves us inactive, but contradiction makes us productive.”

“Colors are the deeds/ and sufferings of light.”

“Rash combat oft immortalizes man; if he should fall, he is renowned in song; but after-ages reckon not the ceaseless tears which the forsaken woman sheds. Poets tell us not of the many nights consumed in weeping, or of the dreary days wherein her anguished soul vainly yearns to call her loved one back.”

“The constructive intellect [genius] produces thoughts, sentences, poems, plans, designs, systems. It is the generation of the mind, the marriage of thought with nature.”

“You must write every single day of your life... You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads... may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.”

“It is only doubt that creates.”

“There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.”

“When one side only of a story is heard and often repeated, the human mind becomes impressed with it insensibly.”

“If you're serious about becoming a wealthy, powerful, sophisticated, healthy, influential, cultured and unique individual, keep a journal. Don't trust your memory. When you listen to something valuable, write it down. When you come across something important, write it down.”
