Theodore Zeldin Quotes

I particularly value conversations which are meetings on the borderline of what I understand and what I don't, with people who are different from myself.

Theodore Zeldin

The brain is full of lonely ideas, begging you to make some sense of them, to recognize them as interesting. The lazy brain just files them away in old pigeonholes, like a bureaucrat who wants an easy life. The lively brain picks and chooses and creates new works of art out of ideas.
