We do not receive wisdom,
we must discover it
for ourselves,
after a journey through the wilderness
- which no one
else can make for us,
which no one can spare us,
for our wisdom is the
point of view from which we come at last
to regard the world.
The lives
that you admire,
the attitudes that seem noble to you,
have not been
shaped by a schoolmaster.
They represent a struggle and a victory.
~Marcel Proust
