Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Culture which smooth the whole world licks, Also unto the devil sticks.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
It is a very hard and troublesome thing to dispose of whole, half, and quarter-mistakes to sift them and assign the portion of truth to its proper place.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
