“Vulgarized knowledge characteristically gives birth to a feeling that everything is understandable and explained. It is like a system of bridges built over chasms. One can travel boldly ahead over these bridges, ignoring the chasms. It is forbidden to look down into them; but that, alas, does not alter the fact that they exist.”
Czeslaw Milosz
“Manners require time, as nothing is more vulgar than haste”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
