God First, Then Papa.

Patience And Tranquility Of Mind Contribute More To Cure Our Distempers As The Whole Art Of Medicine

The Whole, Though It Be Long, Stands Almost Complete And Finished In My Mind So That I Can Survey It At A Glance. Nor Do I Hear In My Imagination The Parts Successively, But I Hear Them, As It Were, All At Once. What Delight This Is I Cannot Tell!

My Fatherland Has Always The First Claim On Me.

I Never Lie Down At Night Without Reflecting That, Young As I Am, I May Not Live To See Another Day.

Creativity Is The Firing Of My Soul.
