This is often incorrectly attributed to Goethe... but it's actually Canadian author and pastor Basil King,when he was speaking about overcoming fear.

In the film "Almost Famous" Cameron Crowe misquotes this as Goethe which contributed to the confusion. Goethe 's closest quote was "Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."

In "Almost Famous", it is William Miller's mother, played by Frances McDormand, who attributes the quote to Goethe. Miller's character is based on Crowe, who worked for Rolling Stone as a teenager.

Can you describe the effect the face paint has on jack and write a quote?

The face paint serves as a mask, allowing Jack to conceal his true self and embrace the freedom and power that comes with anonymity. This alteration brings out his primal instincts and unleashes his inner savagery. A quote to describe this effect could be: "His face painted in bold streaks of color transformed him into a creature of the wild, shedding his humanity and succumbing to the untamed forces lurking within."
