Summary

This quote by Lessing highlights his belief that the process of seeking truth or knowledge is more enjoyable and fulfilling than actually attaining the truth. For Lessing, the pursuit of truth involves critical thinking, exploration, and a curiosity-driven journey. He suggests that the process of seeking truth offers constant intellectual stimulation and personal growth, unlike the final accomplishment of reaching truth, which may often lead to complacency or an end of the intellectual journey. Lessing's perspective encourages individuals to embrace the joy and excitement of intellectual exploration rather than solely focusing on the outcome.

The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the child

The essayist is a self-liberated man, sustained by the childish belief that everything he thinks about, everything that happens to him, is of general interest. He is a fellow who thoroughly enjoys his work, just as people who take bird walks enjoy theirs. Each excursion of the essayist, each new attempt, differs from the last and takes him into new country. This delights him. Only a person who is congenitally self-centered has the effrontery and the stamina to write essays.There are as many kinds of essays as there are human attitudes or poses, as many essay flavors as there are Howard Johnson ice creams. The essayist arises in the morning and, if he has work to do, selects his garb from an unusually extensive wardrobe: he can pull on any sort of shirt, be any sort of person
