....as thinks anyone who replaces reason with quotes. You hate academics
so much, yet you practice their worst traits. I'm sure that what you
are exhibiting here is jealousy that you won't admit to, and I don't
understand why you don't try to grow out of it.
But it's hardly an anti-academic quote, even in context. It's Faustus'
subsequent commentary that is anti-academic, yet Faustus was abandoning
science. Goerthe was rather a lousy scientist as well, and I expect
that Faustus dissatisfaction mirrors his own. Truly great books require
truly great readers to appreciate them, yet you, while extolling
Goerthe, want to grovel in your mire of pettiness. Stand up and be a
man!
