Summary

This quote suggests that experiences are valuable treasures that a cautious person saves and cherishes. Like a miser who diligently saves money, experiences are seen as valuable assets that cannot be easily replaced or replicated. On the other hand, wisdom is portrayed as an inheritance that someone who squanders their resources cannot deplete. This implies that wisdom, unlike material possessions, cannot be exhausted or wasted away. It highlights the lasting and infinite nature of wisdom, contrasting it with the limited and finite nature of experiences.

War has been the most convenient pseudo-solution for the problems of twentieth-century capitalism. It provides the incentives to modernization and technological revolution which the market and the pursuit of profit do only fitfully and by accident, it makes the unthinkable (such as votes for women and the abolition of unemployment) not merely thinkable but practicable. What is equally important, it can re-create communities of men and give a temporary sense to their lives by uniting them against foreigners and outsiders. This is an achievement beyond the power of the private enterprise economy when left to itself.

The more we study Art, the less we care for Nature. What Art really reveals to us is Nature's lack of design, her curious crudities, her extraordinary montony, her absolutely unfinished condition.
