"Certain defects are necessary for the existence..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“I curse all negative purism that tells me not to use a word from another language that either expresses something that my own language cannot or does that in a more delicate manner.”

“All perishable is but an allegory.”

“The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it.”

“The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name; it's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change.”

“The truth, the hope of any time, must always be sought in minorities.”

“I am not competing with anyone other than myself. I want to be excellent at whatever I do.”

“The moose is singularly grotesque and awkward to look at. Why should it stand so high at the shoulders? Why have so long a head? Why have no tail to speak of?”

“Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can offer with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation, but of the adopted talent of another, you have only an extemporaneous, half possession.”

“When you tame someone they become unique to you in all the world”
