Re: Levitas
As i read this quote, I thought of OTNOT for some odd reason.....
"When someone is honestly 55 percent right, that’s very good and there’s no use wrangling. And if someone is 60 percent right, it’s wonderful, it’s great luck, and let him thank God.
But what’s to be said about 75 percent right? Wise people say this is suspicious. Well, and what about 100 percent right? Whoever says he’s 100 percent right is a fanatic, a thug, and the worst kind of rascal."
— An old Jew of Galicia

To believe you are magnificent. And gradually to discover that you are not magnificent. Enough labor for one human life.”

An inspiration to all of us OTNOTers. The reason we (OTNOTers) can see farther, is cause we're standing on Czesław Miłosz's shoulders.noddy wrote:I searched on that and found it was a preface to polish poets Czesław Miłosz book.Simple Minded wrote:As i read this quote, I thought of OTNOT for some odd reason.....

Indeed.
Milosz was a titan of literature. The Captive Mind is one of the most remarkable and enlightening books that I have read.
