Quote by Dhani Harrison

I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.

Summary

This quote illustrates the narrator's experience growing up with a father who may not have been a visible presence in their life, but still demonstrated understanding and acceptance. Despite not seeing the father's physical presence during moments of musical enjoyment, the narrator's father trusted them to pursue their interests and allowed them the freedom to explore and immerse themselves in music without interference. It speaks to a hands-off parenting approach that respects and fosters individuality and self-discovery.

The world is a good judge of things, for it is in natural ig

The world is a good judge of things, for it is in natural ignorance, which is man's true state. The sciences have two extremes which meet. The first is the pure natural ignorance in which all men find themselves at birth. The other extreme is that reached by great intellects, who, having run through all that men can know, find they know nothing, and come back again to that same ignorance from which they set out; but this is a learned ignorance which is conscious of itself. Those between the two, who have departed from natural ignorance and not been able to reach the other, have some smattering of this vain knowledge and pretend to be wise. These trouble the world and are bad judges of everything. The people and the wise constitute the world; these despise it, and are despised. They judge badly of everything, and the world judges rightly of them.
