Quote by Peter von Matt

“Alle, die professionell schreiben, wissen, dass sich ein Gedanke oft erst in der Arbeit an der genauen Formulierung klärt. Sie wissen, dass wir vieles nur schreibend wirklich zu Ende denken können. So wie auch unsere besten Gedanken nicht selten aus dem konzentrierten Prozess des Schreibens heraus entstehen und plötzlich da sind, zu unserer eigenen Überraschung.”

Author:Ehsan Sehgal

“Never have I thought so much, never have I realised my own existence so much, been so much alive, been so much myself ... as in those journeys which I have made alone and afoot. Walking has something in it which animates and heightens my ideas: I can scarcely think when I stay in one place ; my body must be set a-going if my mind is to work. The sight of the country, the succession of beautiful scenes ... releases my soul, gives me greater courage of thought, throws me as it were into the midst of the immensity of the objects of Nature ... my heart, surveying one object after another, unites itself, identifies itself with those in sympathy with it, surrounds itself with delightful images, intoxicates itself with emotions the most exquisite.”

“All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system. And this system is not a more or less arbitrary and doubtful point of departure for all our arguments: no, it belongs to the essence of what we call an argument. The system is not so much as the point of departure, as the element in which arguments have their life.”
