He had the ability to cut through the bs of things, which I appreciate. Small is the number of them that see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts. Whoever undertakes to set himself up as judge in the field of truth and knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. Personally I consider it indecent to delve into people's private affairs, and the world would certainly fare better if newspapers cared more for things that really matter instead of dealing with trifles. The development of general ability for independent thinking and judgement should always be placed foremost, not the acquisition of special knowledge. Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to aquire it.
