Velika većina ljudi ne poseduje u sebi nimalo…
““Velika većina ljudi ne poseduje u sebi nimalo izumiteljskog ili kreativnog duha. Kao što Hegel kaže, oni mogu znati samo ono što već znaju. I na koji način ih naučiti nečem novom? Miješanjem onoga što znaju, s onim što ne znaju. Kad u svojoj magli ugledaju neke poznate obrise, oni pomišljaju : Ah, znam što je to. A od toga je samo jedan korak do : - Ah, znam što sve to predstavlja! I njihov se um usmjeruje u pravcu nepoznatog i oni počinju sagledavati ono što ranije nisu mogli, što proširuje moć njihova razumijevanja.””
