Quote by Albert Camus

You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.

You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You can

Summary

This quote suggests that true experience cannot be acquired through solely making experiments or artificial situations. Instead, experience is something that must be lived through and undergone, involving real-life situations and challenges. It implies that theoretical knowledge or simulated scenarios alone are insufficient to truly develop an understanding or mastery of something. Experience is seen as a result of personal engagement, learning from mistakes, and grappling with the complexities of real-world experiences.

You feel, I suppose, that, in losing Isabella, you lose half yourself: you feel a void in your heart which nothing else can occupy.? Society is becoming irksome; and as for the amusements in which you were wont to share at Bath, the very idea of which without her is abhorrent.? You would not, for instance, now go to a ball for the world.? You feel that you have no longer any friend to whom you can speak with unreserve; on whose regard you can place dependence; or whose counsel, in any difficult, you could rely on.

Parents and children seldom act in concert: each child endeavors to appropriate the esteem or fondness of the parents, and the parents, with yet less temptation, betray each other to their children.

Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature ... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.

To me, we must learn to spell the word RESPECT. We must respect the rights and properties of our fellowman. And then learn to play the game of life, as well as the game of athletics, according to the rules of society. If you can take that and put it into practice in the community in which you live, then, to me you have won the greatest championship.
