Quotes for: to live
To live without philosophizing is properly to have one's eyes closed and never attempt to open them.
A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion.
Quotes for: wind
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
Since I grew tired of the chase
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.
