Famous quotes containing the word musil:

    It is, all in all, a historic error to believe that the master makes the school; the students make it!
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    [There is] an abiding miscommunication between the intellect and the soul. We do not have too much intellect and too little soul, but too little intellect in matters of soul.
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    Scientific reason, with its strict conscience, its lack of prejudice, and its determination to question every result again the moment it might lead to the least intellectual advantage, does in an area of secondary interest what we ought to be doing with the basic questions of life.
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)
