“Rest not Life is sweeping by go and dare before you die. Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time.”

“What a torment it is to see so much loveliness passing and repassing before us, and yet not dare to lay hold of it!”

“Hold your powers together for something good and let everything go that is for you without result and is not suited to you.”

“He only earns his freedom and existence who daily conquers them anew.”

“But who will dare to speak the truth out clear?The few who anything of truth have learned,And foolishly did not keep truth concealed,Their thoughts and visions to the common herd revealed,Since time began we've crucified and burned”

“If you would create something,you must be something.”

“If you have a great work in your head, nothing else thrives near it; all other thoughts are repelled, and the pleasure of life itself is for the time lost.”
