    More Good Minds Suggest…
    Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
    “ One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. ”
    ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship

    Rick Riordan
    “ You might as well ask an artist to explain his art, or ask a poet to explain his poem. It defeats the purpose. The meaning is only clear thorough the search. ”
    ― Rick Riordan
