Oswald Spengler Quote
A thinker is a person whose part it is to symbolize time
according to his vision and understanding. He has no choice; he thinks as he
has to think. Truth in the long run is to him the picture of the world which
was born at his birth. It is that which he does not invent but rather discovers
within himself. It is himself over again; his being expressed in words; the
meaning of his personality formed into a doctrine which so far as concerns his
life is unalterable, because truth and his life are identical. This symbolism
is the one essential, the vessel and the expression of human history. The
learned philosophical works that arise out of it are superfluous and only serve
to swell the bulk of a professional literature.
