“In art the best is good enough.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe book Italian Journey
In der Kunst ist das Beste gut genug.

Italian Journey is Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's report on his travels to Italy from 1786–88, published in 1816–17. The book is based on Goethe's diaries. It is smoothed in style, lacking the spontaneity of his diary report, and augmented with the addition of afterthoughts and reminiscences.
