Formula Wax

Famous quotes containing the words formula and/or wax:

“My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Colloquial poetry is to the real art as the barber’s wax dummy is to sculpture.”
