“That books do not take the place of experience, and that learning is no substitute for genius, are two kindred phenomena; their common ground is that the abstract can never take the place of the perceptive.”
The World As Will and Representation • Arthur Schopenhauer“ No waves of native grain ever stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast of North America. ”
Guns, Germs And Steel • Jared Diamond, Ph.D. (UCLA)“ “An artist's flair is sometimes worth a scientist's brains.””
Seagull • Anton Chekhov““God is the same for all men, only men are different.””
The Duel • Anton Chekhov““I see that you think more than you can express. But, if that’s the case, you must also know that you have never fully lived out your thoughts, and that isn’t good. Only the thoughts that we live out have any value. You knew that your ‘permissible world’ was only half the world, and you tried to hide away the second half from yourself, the way clergymen and teachers do. You won’t succeed! No one can do that when he has once begun to think.””
Demian • Hermann Hesse
