“Memory is each man's own last measure, and for some, the only achievement.”
“Each man's memory is his own private literature”
“All that was required to measure the planet was a man with a stick and a brain. In other words, couple an intellect with some experimental apparatus and almost anything seems achievable.”
“[Some scientific] experiments…tell us that what we consider the objective world depends in some measure on our own conscious processes. There is no fixed eternal reality……… true understanding is not to be achieved with the rational mind.”
“Each man's destiny is personal only insofar as it may happen to resemble what is already in his memory.”
“To know a man's library is, in some measure, to know a man's mind.”
