The Astronomer and the Philosopher

Two Chinamen traveling in Europe went to the theater for the first time. One of them did nothing but study the machinery, and he succeeded in finding out how it worked. The other tried to get at the meaning of the piece in spite of his ignorance of the language. Here you have the difference between the Astronomer and the Philosopher.

- Schopenhauer
