Q50. J40. vocation of life

Quote of the day

Text which anxiously undertake to record every step without omission inevitably succumb to banality, and to a monotony related not only to the tension induced in the reader, but to their own substance.

Rather, knowledge comes to us through a network of prejudices, opinions, innervations, self-corrections, presuppositions and exaggerations, in short through the dense, firmly-founded but by no means uniformly transparent medium of experience.

This inadequacy resembles that of life, which describes a wavering, deviating line, disappointing by comparison with its premisses, and yet which only in this actual course, always less than it should be, is able, under given conditions of existence, to represent an unregimented one. If a life fulfilled its vocation directly, it would miss it.

Minimal Moralia, Theodor Adorno, p.80-81

Journey and Journal

the reading room was a recondite place towered with books
used books are not vitiated
he induced him his book collection
unregimented regime and unregimented volcano
innervation of recondite books and incurred places
He wavers and 歎 before writing the next sentence.
雚 눈썹이 멋진 황새는 歌 노래도 멋질까?
