“Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”
Moby Dick • Herman Melville““Knowledge can be conveyed, but not wisdom. It can be found, it can be lived, it is possible to be carried by it, miracles can be performed with it, but it cannot be expressed in words and taught.””
Siddhartha • Hermann Hesse“I am quite ready, Simmias and Cebes, that I ought to be grieved at death, if I were not persuaded that I am going to other gods who are wise and good and to men departed who are better than those whom I leave behind; and therefore I do not grieve as I might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something remaining for the dead, and, as has been said of old, some far better thing for the good than for the evil.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“In each of us spirit has become form, in each of us the created being suffers, in each of us a redeemer is crucified.”
Demian • Hermann Hesse“Scientific truth is characterized by its exactness and the certainty of its predictions. But these admirable qualities are contrived by science at the cost of remaining on a plane of secondary problems. leaving intact the ultimate and decisive questions. … Yet science is but a small part of the human mind and organism. Where it stops, man does not stop.”
History as a System • Jose Ortega y Gasset
