Poetry Has Become The Higher

All We Are Given Is Possibilities — To Make Ourselves One Thing Or Another.

To Live Is To Feel Oneself Lost.

The Past Will Not Tell Us What We Ought To Do, But... What We Ought To Avoid.

Man Must Not Only Make Himself: The Weightiest Thing He Has To Do Is To Determine What He Is Going To Be. He Is Causa Sui To The Second Power.

He [the "specialist"] Is One Who, Out Of All That Has To Be Known In Order To Be A Man Of Judgment, Is Only Acquainted With One Science, And Even Of That One Only Knows The Small Corner In Which He Is An Active Investigator. He Even Proclaims It As A Virtue That He Takes No Cognisance Of What Lies Outside The Narrow Territory Specially Cultivated By Himself, And Gives The Name Of "dilettantism" To Any Curiosity For The General Scheme Of Knowledge.
