Rainer Maria Rilke • Letters to a Young Poet
“A little learning is a dangerous thing; / Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring.”)
Paul Kalanithi • When Breath Becomes Air
There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust.
