Aux approches de la soixantaine, on n’est pas toujours plus sage qu’à vingtans — Marc Bloch

Es eine Ungerechtigkeit ist, daß damit auch die Männer keine Erwähnung finden, welche sich dadurch, daß sie sich auf Lehre und Erziehung beschränkten, gar nicht selten ein sehr viel höheres Verdienst erwarben, als mancher, der ein Scherflein zur Wissenschaft beitrug — U. von Wilamowitz-Moellendorf

Recent Scherflein: “Remains of the Day: Unfreedom in Ancient Greece” Philosophy, Politics and Critique 1.2, 2024, 165–184.
