“A proverb does not support itself. Our lives justify great proverbs, and so the more a man examines his life, the more a collection of proverbs will seem to him like newspaper headlines that offer up-to-the-minute reports on the state of his own soul. These are the news sources worth following. Who cares that CNN’s journalists can tell you what’s going on with Iran when journalists of the human condition like Solomon and Goethe can tell you what’s going on with your relationship with your father?”
