Um sentimento originário de verdade

Tudo aquilo a que chamamos, em sentido mais elevado, inventar, descobrir, é o exercício, a actividade significativa de um sentimento originário de verdade que, longamente elaborado na quietude, conduz, de repente, com a rapidez do relâmpago, a um conhecimento frutuoso. É uma revelação que se desenvolve do interior para o exterior, que deixa pressentir no homens a sua semelhança com o divino.
J. W. von Goethe
