Die Meistersinger Von

Famous quotes containing the words die and/or von:

    You ever gentle gods, take my breath from me;
    Let not my worser spirit tempt me again
    To die before you please!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    After all, poets shouldn’t be their own interpreters and shouldn’t carefully dissect their poems into everyday prose; that would mean the end of being poets. Poets send their creations into the world, it is up to the reader, the aesthetician, and the critic to determine what they wanted to say with their creations.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
