Join 📚 Swapnil's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
The great innovators of the past have always needed what most modern workers lack: the time and training to think slowly and deeply. Leonardo da Vinci[26](9780063486478_Notes.xhtml#rfn88) was “allowed to be driven by pure curiosity,” as Walter Isaacson writes in his biography of da Vinci, because he had patrons who protected his time to explore and experiment without the urgency of efficiency.

Siddhartha reflected deeply as he went on his way. He realized that he was no longer a youth; he was now a man. He realized that something had left him, like the old skin that a snake sheds. Something was no longer in him, something that had accompanied him right through his youth and was part of him: this was the desire to have teachers and to listen to their teachings. He had left the last teacher he had met, even he, the greatest and wisest teacher, the holiest, the Buddha. He had to leave him; he could not accept his teachings.
