Oliver Sacks Quotes
Color Is Not A Trivial Subject But One That Has Compelled, For Hundreds Of Years, A Passionate Curiosity In The Greatest Artists, Philosophers, And Natural Scientists. The Young Spinoza Wrote His First Treatise On The Rainbow; The Young Newton's Most Joyous Discovery Was The Composition Of White Light; Goethe's Great Color Work, Like Newton's, Started With A Prism; Schopenhauer, Young, Helmholtz, And Maxwell, In The Last Century, Were All Tantalized By The Problem Of Color; And Wittgenstein's Last Work Was His Remarks On Colour. And Yet Most Of Us, Most Of The Time, Overlook Its Great Mystery.
