Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Each one sees what he carries in his heart

Each one sees what he carries in his heart

Summary

This quote suggests that perception of the world is subjective and influenced by one's internal experiences, beliefs, and emotions. It implies that people tend to interpret events and situations based on their personal perspectives and attitude. Therefore, what one sees or understands is limited by their own unique mindset and state of mind. It highlights the importance of self-awareness and understanding one's own biases and preconceptions when engaging with the world around them.

We are rapidly entering the age of no privacy, where everyone is open to surveillance at all times; where there are no secrets from government.

It was well said by Jean Tarrou in The Plague, I think that attendance at lectures in an unknown language will help to hone one's awareness of the exceedingly slow passage of time. I once had the experience of being 'waterboarded' and can now dimly appreciate how much every second counts in the experience of the torture victim, forced to go on enduring what is unendurable.

A library of wisdom, is more precious than all wealth, and all things that are desirable cannot be compared to it. Whoever therefore claims to be zealous of truth, of happiness, of wisdom or knowledge, must become a lover of books.

The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.

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!

Albert Schweitzer
