“Intelligence, that sublimation of the sensibility, that organ of the need to know, is sterilized sensibility.” KnowsNeedsIntellectOrgansSensibility Author:Remy de Gourmont
“Art includes everything which stimulates the desire to live; science includes everything which sharpens the desire to know. Art, even the most disinterested, the most disembodied, is the auxiliary of life.” KnowsArtScienceDesireKnowledgeDisinterestedDesire To Live Author:Remy de Gourmont
“Science is the only truth and it is the great lie. It knows nothing, and people think it knows everything. It is misrepresented. People think that science is electricity, automobilism, and dirigible balloons. It is something very different. It is life devouring itself. It is the sensibility transformed into intelligence. It is the need to know stifling the need to live. It is the genius of knowledge vivisecting the vital genius.” PeopleThinkingKnowsLifeNeedsDifferentScienceLyingGeniusScientistTransformedSensibilityElectricityBalloonsStiflingDevouring Author:Remy de Gourmont
