Famous quotes containing the word von:

    The true, prescriptive artist strives after artistic truth; the lawless artist, following blind instinct, after an appearance of naturalness. The one leads to the highest peaks of art, the other to its lowest depths.
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
