Immanuel Kant sagte, daß "vom gekrümmten Bauholz von Menschlichkeit, keine gerade Sache überhaupt gebildet werden kann,"
Good old Immanuel! He never traveled more than 30 kms from his hometown of Konigsberg and yet he entertained his visitors with tales of many places. Proving that the intellect and reading trumps a credit card and a travel agency. It does make you wonder what he was like. Was he any fun? Or was he just another pedant. A man perhaps too used to explaining and no much given to listening. We'll never know, at least, not from reading his books.
