“He teaches me to set my heart on nothing. He detaches my mind from friends and relations; and I could watch on as brother, children, mother, and wife all died, and not care in the least.”

“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
