The Persistent Writers' Hall of Fame


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."

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."
