"Intellect can be seen as a barrier or a brake that prevents separate individuals from communicating with each other and closes the path of knowledge to the future or to something absent. For the knowledge of all these would be as useless and painful to us as the sensibility and receptivity of a plant without irritability and movement would be torturous.

Intellect can be seen as a barrier or a brake that prevents separate individuals from communicating with each other and closes the path of knowledge to the future or to something absent. For the knowledge of all these would be as useless and painful to us as the sensibility and receptivity of a plant without irritability and movement would be torturous.
""Intelectul poate fi privit ca o barieră sau ca o frână care împiedică comunicarea reciprocă a indivizilor separați și închide calea cunoștinței către viitor sau către ceva absent. Căci cunoașterea tuturor acestora ar fi pentru noi la fel de inutilă și dureroasă, pe cât de chinuitoare iar fi unei plante sensibilitatea și receptivitatea în lipsa iritabilității și a mișcări."
