Who said –
“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.”
and
“... 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.”
? ? ?
Both of these quotes connect with me on a very deep level. Both deserve their own post, which I may do early next week if I have a sufficiency of time and a worst-case bout of verbosity. Yeah, ya know, that might not be a bad exercise, come to think of it!
HINT: This person also said,
“The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.”
And I personally find this person quite frustrating to reconcile in my mind.
Hmmm?
