Summary

This quote suggests that there are two key factors that shape and guide human behavior and understanding of the world: instinct and experience. Instinct refers to the inherent and natural tendencies and drives that humans possess, influencing their actions and thoughts. Experience, on the other hand, refers to the knowledge and understanding gained through direct interaction with the world and learning from one's own life events. Together, instinct and experience work in combination to inform and educate individuals about their own nature and the world around them.
