A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.

Summary

This quote suggests that both having little knowledge and having a lot can be dangerous. It implies that having a limited understanding of a subject can lead to incorrect assumptions or actions, potentially causing harm. On the other hand, having extensive knowledge can also be dangerous as it may lead to overconfidence or a skewed perspective. In both cases, the quote emphasizes the importance of seeking a balanced and well-rounded understanding to mitigate the negative consequences of knowledge.

Life yields only to the conqueror. Never accept what can be gained by giving in. You will be living off stolen goods, and your muscles will atrophy.

It is not physical solitude that actually separates one from others; not physical isolation, but spiritual isolation. It is not the desert island nor the stony wilderness that cuts you from the people you love. It is the wilderness in the mind, the desert wastes in the heart through which one wanders lost and a stranger. When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. How often in a large city, shaking hands with my friends, I have felt the wilderness stretching between us. Both of us were wandering in arid wastes, having lost the springs that nourished us -- or having found them dry. Only when one is connected to one's own core is one connected to others, I am beginning to discover. And, for me, the core, the inner spring, can best be refound through solitude.
