"Sé que me queda menos por vivir de lo que he vivido. Me siento como un niño al que le han regalado una caja de bombones. Disfruta comiéndolo, y cuando ve que no queda mucho, empieza a comerlos con un sabor especial. No tengo tiempo para interminables conferencias sobre leyes públicas, nada cambiará. Y no hay deseo de discutir con los tontos que no actúan de acuerdo a su edad. No asisto a reuniones donde se inflan los egos y no soporto a los manipuladores. Me molestan las personas envidiosas que intentan calumniar a quienes son más capaces de arrebatarles sus puestos, talentos y logros. Mi alma tiene prisa. Quedan muy pocos dulces en la caja. Estoy interesado en la gente humana. Las personas que se ríen de sus errores son las que tienen éxito, las que entienden su vocación y no se esconden de la responsabilidad. Que defiende la dignidad humana y quiere estar del lado de la verdad, la justicia. Para eso es la vida. Quiero rodearme de personas que sepan tocar el corazón de los demás. Quien, a través de los golpes del destino, supo levantarse y mantener la suavidad del alma. Sí, tengo prisa, tengo prisa por vivir con la intensidad que sólo la madurez puede dar. Me comeré todos los dulces que me quedan, sabrán mejor que los que ya me he comido. Mi objetivo es llegar al final en armonía conmigo mismo, mis seres queridos y mi conciencia. Pensé que tenía dos vidas, pero resultó ser solo una, y hay que vivirla con dignidad".

"I am attempting to be helpful to those who are worthy of being introduced to the study of philosophy in an opportune and serious manner. This attempt may or may not be successful, and I am only too well aware that it can be outstripped; and there is nothing I desire more, for the good of that philosophy, than to be imitated and surpassed."-Nietzsche, Unpublished Fragments

[Dawson S. Williams @DawsonSWilliams]

Husserl’s public lectures on Logic are less “impenetrable” as Ideas and Logical Investigations, so for those who wish to examine the minutiae of Logic, it is an excellent exercise in thinking. Read Husserl with Frege’s major works, for cross reference.

'All religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling a person's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence, and leading the individual toward freedom.'

What Emmy Noether was like as as a @BrynMawrCollege math professor, according to her student Ruth McKee:

'The strange phenomenon was that from our point of view she was one of us, almost as if she too were thinking about the theorems for the first time'

A list of all German professors dismissed by the Nazi regime in mid-to-late April and early May 1933, including theorist Max Born, noted mathematician Emmy Noether, and hundreds of others.

Nobel Laureate physicist James Franck resigned in protest on April 18 of that year.

Stendhal’s Life of Napoleon is easily among “the great books” and worth every man’s time

And much like Plutarch’s paralleling of great lives, I encourage people to read Stendhal’s Napoleon with Xenophon’s Education of Cyrus — then add to the parallel his Socrates in Memorabilia
