Random quote of the day:
“Altogether, the style of a writer is a faithful representative of his mind; therefore, if any man wishes to write a clear style, let him be first clear in his thoughts; and, if any should write in a noble style, let him first possess a noble soul, and live a noble life.”
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, quoted in Conversations of Goethe with Johann Peter Eckermann, entry for April 14, 1824
