"I take great delight in the free play of the mind, and I believe intellectual work is indispensable for social change. Yet, in the end, I place compassion far above smartness and wisdom light-years ahead of cleverness. The quest for wisdom is rooted in an erotic relation to the world – a deep desire to love and passion to know before one dies. So I speak of my intellectual work and life as a calling, not a career; a vocation, not a profession." -- Cornel West |
