Giving Birth

Famous quotes containing the words giving and/or birth:

“Whatever liberates our spirit, without also giving us mastery over ourselves, is destructive.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

“I am not fooling myself with dreams of immortality, know how relative all literature is, don’t have any faith in mankind, derive enjoyment from too few things. Sometimes these crises give birth to something worth while, sometimes they simply plunge one deeper into depression, but, of course, it is all part of the same thing.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
