We should take care not to make the intellect
our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

It is only the intellect that keeps me sane;
perhaps this makes me overvalue intellect against feeling.

If you cut up a large diamond into little bits,
it will entirely lose the value it had as a whole; and an army divided up into
small bodies of soldiers, loses all its strength. So a great intellect sinks
to the level of an ordinary one, as soon as it is interrupted and disturbed,
its attention distracted and drawn off from the matter in hand: for its
superiority depends upon its power of concentration-of bringing all its
strength to bear upon one theme, in the same way as a concave mirror collects
into on point all the rays of light that strike upon it.
