Quote by Antonio Tabucchi

Literature is my life of course, but from an ontological point of view. From an existential point of view, I like being a teacher.

Literature is my life of course, but from an ontological poi

Summary

This quote reflects the two different perspectives the speaker has on their life and profession. From an "ontological" point of view, literature holds significant importance and plays a fundamental role in their life. It implies that literature is not just a career or interest, but something deeply ingrained in their being. However, from an "existential" perspective, the speaker finds fulfillment and satisfaction as a teacher. This suggests that their purpose and sense of self are realized through sharing their knowledge and guiding others, emphasizing the dual significance and meaning they derive from their passion and profession.

The historian should be fearless and incorruptible; a man of independence, loving frankness and truth; one who, as the poet says, calls a fig a fig and a spade a spade. He should yield to neither hatred nor affection, but should be unsparing and unpitying. He should be neither shy nor deprecating, but an impartial judge, giving each side all it deserves but no more. He should know in his writings no country and no city; he should bow to no authority and acknowledge no king. He should never consider what this or that man will think, but should state the facts as they really occurred.
