“What we commonly call man–the eating, drinking, planting, counting man, does not–as we know him—represent himself, but misrepresents himself. Him we do not respect. But the soul, whose organ he is, would he let it appear through his action would make our knees bend. When it breathes through his in-intellect, it is genius. When it breathes through his will, it is virtue. When it flows through his affection, it is love.” Walt Whitman
“We don’t receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourÂselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us.” Marcel Proust
Nov9
