Quote by John Naisbitt

We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.

We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.

Summary

In today's digital age, we have access to an overwhelming amount of information at our fingertips, thanks to the internet and various other sources. However, this abundance of data does not necessarily translate into true understanding or knowledge. With limited time and attention, we often struggle to sift through the barrage of information and extract the valuable insights or meaningful knowledge that we seek. This quote highlights the paradox of our times, where despite having a surplus of information available to us, we thirst for the depth and understanding that only true knowledge can provide.

How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast has this

How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast has this glorious starry firmament for a roof! In such places standing alone on the mountaintop it is easy to realize that whatever special nests we make---leaves and moss like the marmots and birds, or tents or piled stone---we all dwell in a house of one room---the world with a firmament for its roof---and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track.

What torments my soul is its loneliness. The more it expands

What torments my soul is its loneliness. The more it expands among friends and the daily habits or pleasures, the more, it seems to me, it flees me and retires into its fortress. The poet who lives in solitude, but who produces much, is the one who enjoys those treasures we bear in our bosom, but which forsake us when we give ourselves to others. When one yields oneself completely to one's soul, it opens itself to one, and then it is that the capricious thing allows one the greatest of good fortunes... that of sympathizing with others, of studying itself, of painting itself constantly in its works.

Eugene Delacroix
