Wisdom is meaningless until our own experience has given it

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of personal experience in truly understanding and embodying wisdom. Knowledge and advice given to us by others may hold little significance until we have personally lived and experienced the lessons embedded in that wisdom. It suggests that true understanding and appreciation can only come from firsthand experience, where we can relate the knowledge to our own lives, values, and circumstances. The meaning behind wisdom is shaped by our own encounters, making it personal and relevant to our individual journeys.

I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.

I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use --silence, exile and cunning.
