#quotes #friedrich-nietzsche #wisdom #philosophy #human

All men naturally desire knowledge. An indication of this is our esteem for the senses; for apart from their use we esteem them for their own sake, and most of all the sense of sight.

The reason of this is that of all the senses sight best helps us to know things, and reveals many distinctions. ~Aristotle
