    • Quotes

      Hannah Arendt: For this kind of person there is neither pure luck nor pure grief, since both are sources of inspiration. That is the price of talent. The fortunate say- correctly- that success and luck are linked, something that never dawns on fools. It never dawns on fools that, as Benjamin once said, there is a place where weakness and genius are one.
