Quote by Thomas Carlyle

Love is ever the beginning of Knowledge as fire is of light.

Love is ever the beginning of Knowledge as fire is of light.

Summary

This quote reveals that love is inextricably linked to the acquisition of knowledge. Just as fire is essential in producing light, love acts as a catalyst for learning and understanding. When we truly love something or someone, we are motivated to explore, inquire, and seek deeper insights. Love ignites curiosity, fuels curiosity, and propels us towards acquiring knowledge. It suggests that a genuine passion or affection is crucial in embarking on the journey of gaining wisdom and discovering the profound truths that life has to offer.

Physical misery is great everywhere out here Africa. Are we

Physical misery is great everywhere out here Africa. Are we justified in shutting our eyes and ignoring it because our European newspapers tell us nothing about it? We civilised people have been spoilt. If any one of us is ill the doctor comes at once. Is an operation necessary, the door of some hospital or other opens to us immediately. But let every one reflect on the meaning of the fact that out here millions and millions live without help or hope of it. Every day thousands and thousands endure the most terrible sufferings, though medical science could avert them. Every day there prevails in many and many a far-off hut a despair which we could banish. Will each of my readers think what the last ten years of his family history would have been if they had been passed without medical or surgical help of any sort? It is time that we should wake from slumber and face our responsibilities!

Men do not know the natural infirmity of their mind: it does nothing but ferret and quest, and keeps incessantly whirling around, building up and becoming entangled in its own work, like silkworms, and is suffocated in it. A mouse in a pitch barrel...thinks it notices from a distance some sort of glimmer of imaginary light and truth; but while running toward it, it is crossed by so many difficulties and obstacles, and diverted by so many new quests, that it strays from the road, bewildered.

Michel de Montaigne

And you have a record company behind it, this is a key too, you need people to fight for your records, at least a little bit. So if you have a great song, it's catchy, and you've got a little bit of help, I think that's all you need. But there hasn't been that in music.
