Today is the birthday of writer Johann Wolfgang Goethe (1749 – 1832). In perusing his biography, I discovered that he worked on his most famous book “Faust” for 50 years.
Thus, I’m initiating a new GITS feature: The Persistent Writers’ Hall of Fame! And herewith tap Herr Goethe as a charter member. To honor the man, here is a great Goethe quote:
“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”
Boldness and persistence!
Amazing, one of my favorite artists.
Along with William Blake and a few others.
Happy Birthday Johann

Here’s a bonus quote from Goethe:
“As soon as you trust yourself, you will know how to live.”
