“Only one who devotes himself to a cause with his whole strength and soul can be a true master. For this reason mastery demands all of a person.”
“...the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations; for, he himself knows best, and feels more surely where the shoe pinches...Physical conceptions are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world.”
“Gravity is a response to geometry.”
More on Knowledge
“Where the telescope ends the microscope begins, and which has the wider vision?”
“The real scholar learns how to evolve the unknown from the known, and draws near the master.”
“Oh happy he who still can hope in our day to breathe the truth while plunged in seas of error! What we don't know is really what we need, and what we know is of no use to us whatever!”
More on Experience
“For what gives value to travel is fear. It breaks down a kind of inner structure we have. Travel robs us of such refuge. Far from our own people, our own language, stripped of all our props, deprived of our masks (one doesn't know the fare on the streetcars, or anything else), we are completely on the surface of ourselves.”
“Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.”
“If a man has character, he has also his typical experience, which always recurs.”
