quote:"...one of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought."
oh yes I know of this longing, of this struggle, because it's the latter too!
Knowledge, intuition, creativity, the tools in our hands to move on ...
as he did!
Great post, dear Inda, so much food for thought.
Another favorite:
quote:"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
May we keep our eyes open to all the marvels and mysteries of life.
Love and best wishes for a beautiful Sunday!
