“Let your mind become a lens, thanks to the converging rays of attention; let your soul be all intent on whatever it is that is established in your mind as a dominant, wholly absorbing idea.” This advice comes from Antonin-Dalmace Sertillanges, a Dominican friar and professor of moral philosophy, who during the early part of the twentieth century penned a slim but influential volume titled The Intellectual Life. Sertillanges wrote the book as a guide to “the development and deepening of the mind” for those called to make a living in the world of ideas. Throughout The Intellectual Life, Sertillanges recognizes the necessity of mastering complicated material and helps prepare the reader for this challenge.”

“القراءة المبالغ فيها لا تجعلنا اذكياء , بعض الناس يبتلعون الكتب و هم يفعلون ذلك بدون فاصل للتفكير ,و هو ضروري لكي يُهضم المقروء و يُبني و يُتبني و يُفهم . عندما يتحدث اليك الناس يخرجون من افواههم قطعاً من هيجل و هايديجر او ماركس في حالة اوليه غير مصاغة جيدا , عند القراءة فان المساهمة الشخصية ضرورية مثلما هو ضروري للنحلة العمل الداخلي و الزمن , لكي تحول الرحيق الازهار المتجمعة الي عسل”
