Hermann Hesse Quote

İnsanların büyük çoğunluğu yüzmeyi öğrenmeden yüzmek istemez. Ne anlamlı bir söz, değil mi? Yüzmek istememeleri doğal, çünkü karada yaşamak için yaratılmışlar, suda değil. Ve düşünmek istememeleri de doğal, çünkü yaşamak için yaratılmışlar, düşünmek için değil! Evet, kim düşünürse, kim düşünmeyi kendisi için temel uğraş yaparsa, bunda ileri bir noktaya ulaşabilir; ne var ki, karayla suyu değiş tokuş etmiştir böyle biri ve gün gelir suda boğulur.
