A man is but what he knows.
~~~~~~~
A man is never more his single separate self than when he sets out on a journey.
~~~~~~~
A man without force, is without the essential dignity of humanity. Human nature is so constituted, that it cannot honor a helpless man, although it can pity him.
~~~~~~~
A man’s soul is pierced as it were with holes, and as his longings flow through each they are transmuted into something specific.
~~~~~~~
Add a few drops of malice to a half truth and you have an absolute truth.
~~~~~~~
Again men have been kept back as by a kind of enchantment from progress in science by reverence for antiquity, by the authority of men counted great in philosophy, and then by general consent.
~~~~~~~
All greatness of character is dependent on individuality. The man who has no other existence than that which he partakes in common with all around him, will never have any other than an existence of mediocrity.
~~~~~~~
All prayers and hopes are a reaching-out for coincidences.
~~~~~~~
All weakness tends to corrupt, and impotence corrupts absolutely.
~~~~~~~
Animals can learn, but it is not by learning that they become dogs, cats, or horses. Only man has to learn to become what he is supposed to be.
~~~~~~~
Any man who inflicts the human race with ideas must be prepared to see them misunderstood.
~~~~~~~
Any young person who has studied Heidegger; or seen Ionesco’s ‘plays’; or listened to the ‘music’ of John Cage; or looked at Andy Warhol’s ‘paintings’- has experienced that feeling of incredulous puzzlement: But this is nonsense! Can I really be expected to take this seriously?In fact, of course, it is necessary for it to be nonsense; if it made sense, it could be evaluated. The essence of modern intellectual snobbery is the ’emperor’s new cloths’ approach. Teachers, critics, our self-appointed intellectual elite, make it quite clear to us that if we cannot see the superlative nature of this ‘art’- why, it merely shows our ignorance, our lack of sophistication and insight. Of course, they go beyond the storybook emperor’s tailors, who dressed their victim in nothing and called it fine garments. The modern tailors dress the emperor in garbage.
~~~~~~~
Art should be appreciated with passion and violence, not with a tepid, deprecating elegance that fears the censoriousness of a common room.
~~~~~~~
Because they know not the forces of nature, and in order that they may have comrades in their ignorance, they suffer not that others should search out anything, and would have us believe like rustics and ask no reason…But we ask in all things a reason must be sought.
~~~~~~~
Because we do not understand the brain very well we are constantly tempted to use the latest technology as a model for trying to understand it. In my childhood we were always assured that the brain was a telephone switchboard. (‘What else could it be?’) I was amused to see that Sherrington, the great British neuroscientist, thought that the brain worked like a telegraph system. Freud often compared the brain to hydraulic and electro-magnetic systems. Leibniz compared it to a mill, and I am told some of the ancient Greeks thought the brain functions like a catapult. At present, obviously, the metaphor is the digital computer.
~~~~~~~
Being intelligent is not a felony. But most societies evaluate it as at least a misdemeanor.
~~~~~~~
Benevolence is a commitment to achieving the values derivable from life with other people in society, by treating them as potential trading partners, recognizing their humanity, independence, and individuality, and the harmony between their interests and ours.
~~~~~~~
Blaming society makes it awfully easy for a person of weak character to shrug off his own responsibility for his actions.
~~~~~~~
Brain-washing starts in the cradle.
~~~~~~~
Children sweeten labours; but they make misfortunes more bitter. They increase the care of life; but they mitigate the remembrance of death. The perpetuity of generation is common to beasts; but memory, merit, and noble works, are proper to men. And surely a man shall see the noblest works and foundations have proceeded from childless men; which have sought to express the images of their minds, where those of their bodies have failed.
