Just as bad poets in the second half of a line, look for a thought to fit their rhyme, so people in the second half of their lives, having become more anxious, look for their actions, attitudes, relationships that suit those of their earlier life, so that everything will harmonize outwardly. But then they no longer have any powerful thought to rule their life and determine it anew. Rather, in its stead comes the intention of finding a rhyme. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + He who speaks a bit of a foreign language has more delight in it than he who speaks it well; pleasure goes along with superficial knowledge. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + THE CHAMPIONS OF TRUTH ARE HARDEST TO FIND, NOT WHEN IT IS DANGEROUS TO TELL IT, BUT RATHER WHEN IT IS BORING. |
