Beers & Books CLXXXVI – Leonardo Sciascia

The truth is at the bottom of a well.
You look in a well,
and you see the sun or the moon,
but if you jump in,
there's no longer the sun or the moon;
there's the truth.

 

Leonardo Sciascia (8 January 1921 – 20 November 1989)

Science + Literature = i

"In the world there are various categories of scientists:
there are people of a secondary or tertiary standing;
there are also those of high standing
who make discoveries of great importance to science;
then there are geniuses like Galileo and Newton.
Well, Ettore was one of them."
Enrico Fermi
