Kathe Kollwitz

It is my duty to voice the suffering of men, the never-ending sufferings heaped mountain-high.

I do not want to die... until I have faithfully made the most of my talent and cultivated the seed that was placed in me until the last small twig has grown.

While I drew, and wept along with the terrified children I was drawing, I really felt the burden I am bearing. I felt that I have no right to withdraw from the responsibility of being an advocate.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

As a young child my attention span was, as I remember it, rather short.

It's an ear job, not an eye job.
