Wisdom of Goethe

What I have lately said of painting is equally true with respect
to poetry.  It is only necessary for us to know what is really
excellent, and venture to give it expression; and that is saying
much in few words. (The Sorrows of Young Werther)

....and the man who, solely from regard to the opinion of others, and
without any wish or necessity of his own, toils after gold, honour,
or any other phantom, is no better than a fool.
(The Sorrows of Young Werther)

Oppenheimer on Einstein

The famous physicist Robert Oppenheimer speaks on Albert Einstein— the greatest physicist of the last century.His lecture on the works and life of Einstein can be found in The New York Review of Books.

Oppenheimer himself was also a colorful personality.He was a prodigy scientist as well as a great admirer of poetry.He was the first to explain the formation of space-time singularity in terms of General Relativity.He was instrumental in the development of A-Bomb—in fact he led the Manhattan Project at a mere 34 years of age.In his later life he was accused of conspiracy and confined in his house.

Reading Psychoanalysis

Nowadays I am becoming interested in psychology and psycho-analysis. As I believe that most of our mental problems are not by birth, rather they are diseases and can be healed by proper treatment.So I think studying psychology is important.

Knowledge of psychology is not essential only for psychologists, but as far as I know many other professionals(e.g. social scientists, historians, writers etc.) who find psychology as an essential tool.

At present I am trying to read Freud's Dream Psychology.
