Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each has his own happiness in his hands, as the artist handles the rude clay he seeks to reshape it into a figure yet it is the same with this art as with all others: only the capacity for it is innate the art itself must be learned and painstakingly practiced.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
