“Noise is the most impertinent of all forms of interruption. It is not only an interruption, but also a disruption of thought.”
“The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.”
“Although as a rule the absurd culminates, and it seems impossible for the voice of the individual ever to penetrate through the chorus of foolers and fooled, still there is left to the genuine works of all times a quite peculiar, silent, slow, and powerful influence; and as if by a miracle, we see them rise at last out of the turmoil like a balloon that floats up out of the thick atmosphere of this globe into purer regions. Having once arrived there, it remains at rest, and no one can any longer draw it down again.”
