Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good action, for one single good poem, accomplishes more than he who fills our memory with rows on rows of natural objects, classified with name and form.

A teacher who can arouse a feeling for one single good actio

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of a teacher's ability to inspire and ignite passion in their students. Rather than simply imparting factual knowledge or information, a teacher who can cultivate an appreciation for one noble action or a single beautiful piece of art achieves greater impact. In doing so, they instill a sense of purpose and inspiration in their students, sparking their curiosity, creativity, and potentially leading to a lifetime of meaningful contributions.

I would awake at sunrise, and without washing or dressing sit down before the easel which stood right beside my bed. Thus the first image I saw on awakening was the painting I had begun, as it was the last I saw in the evening when I retired . . . I spent the whole day seated before my easel, my eyes staring fixedly, trying to 'see', like a medium (very much so indeed), the images that would spring up in my imagination. Often I saw these images exactly situated in the painting. Then, at the point commanded by them, I would paint, paint with the hot taste in my mouth that panting hunting dogs must have at the moment when they fasten their teeth into the game killed that very instant by a well-aimed shot. At times I would wait whole hours without any such images occuring. Then, not painting, I would remain in suspense, holding up one paw, from which the brush hung motionless, ready to pounce again upon the oneiric landscape of my canvas the moment the next explosion of my brain brought a new victim of my imagination bleeding to the ground.
