“... a discovery you make yourself is worth twenty thousand things that you are taught, even if it is a discovery that everyone else has made.”
“Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.”
“The whole key to life is discovering things for yourself. What you do with that discovery is what lies on the other side of that door.”
“It is one of the strange discoveries a man can make that life, however you lead it, contains moments of exhilaration; there are always comparisons which can be made with worse times: even in danger and misery the pendulum swings.”
“Are you prepared to have quiteobvious things explained to you, to ask futile questions, to give mechances of scoring off you, to make brilliant discoveries of your owntwo or three days after I have made them myself all that kind of thing?”
“To understand yourself: Is that a discovery or a creation?”
