Summary

This quote by Lessing highlights his belief that the process of seeking truth or knowledge is more enjoyable and fulfilling than actually attaining the truth. For Lessing, the pursuit of truth involves critical thinking, exploration, and a curiosity-driven journey. He suggests that the process of seeking truth offers constant intellectual stimulation and personal growth, unlike the final accomplishment of reaching truth, which may often lead to complacency or an end of the intellectual journey. Lessing's perspective encourages individuals to embrace the joy and excitement of intellectual exploration rather than solely focusing on the outcome.

The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth. To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time, because it's too hard...To put it loosely, the reason why kids are crazy is because nobody can face the responsibility of bringing them up...

The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak

The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature --were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.
