"It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act
of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment. When I have
clarified and exhausted a subject, then I turn away from it, in order to
go into darkness again; the never-satisfied man is so strange if he has
completed a structure, then it is not in order to dwell in it
peacefully,but in order to begin another. I imagine the world conqueror
must feel thus, who, after one kingdom is scarcely conquered, stretches
out his arms for others."
