On [:] Knowledge | Paracelsus, 1493-1541

Vivian Maier, Self portrait, Chicago, 1975

“He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing
understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless.
But he who understands also loves, notices, sees …
The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love.…
Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time
as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes.”

Paracelsus, 1493-1541
