Of instruction which does not become life

Modern man... has become a strolling spectator and has arrived at a condition in which even great wars and revolutions are able to influence him for hardly more than a moment... Thus the individual grows fainthearted and unsure and dares no longer believe in himself: he sinks into his own subjective depths, which here means into the accumulated lumber of what he has learned but which has no outward effect, of instruction which does not become life. 

Friedrich Nietzsche, Untimely Meditations (1876: só o emprego do masculino está desactualizado, porque o argumento...)
