Quotes

  • The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths. From the same source the river of life, and the river of death, proceed. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
  • The true joy of life is being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. - George Bernard Shaw
  • The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. - Oscar Wilde
