He's the only person I know who read all 42 volumes of the works of Goethe in German and he read them all twice,

Ein Teil von jener Kraft, die stets das Böse will und stets das Gute schafft.

-Goethe-

„Was glänzt ist für den Augenblick geboren; Das Echte bleibt der Nachwelt unverloren.

Des Menschen Kraft, im Dichter offenbart
The human power is revealed by poet
Il potere dell'umanità si rivela nel poeta

When I'm working with German audiences, I will call on my Rilke and Goethe in the original.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!
