One must learn to see, one must learn to think, one must learn to speak and write. The goal of all three tasks is a noble culture. – To learn to see – to accustom the eye to composure, to patience, to letting things come to it; to put off judgment, to learn to walk around all sides of the individual case and comprehend it from all sides. [...] Learning to see, as I understand it, is almost what is unphilosophically termed will-power: what is essential here is precisely not to “will”, to be able to put off a decision. All unspirituality, all commonness is based on the inability to resist a stimulus – one has to react, one follows every impulse.
