Fernand Braudel cytaty

„Mieszkańcy Dalekiego Wschodu operują innym kryterium piękna i zła – i jeśli Chińczyk wydaje się nam istotą niepojętą, to dlatego właśnie, że posługuje się odrębnym kanonem wartości, miarą, dla której wzorem nie był Fidiasz i Platon. Nie różni nas struktura czaszki, jakość krwi i rysunek twarzy. Różnią nas zasady wartościowania. Właściwą nam zasadą wartościowania jest Grecja.”

Fernand Braudel: Cytaty po angielsku

“For four or five centuries, Islam was the most brilliant civilization in the Old World. (…) At its higher level the golden age of Muslim civilization was both an immense scientific success and a exceptional revival of ancient philosophy. These was not its only triumphs; literature was another: but they eclipse the rest. First, science: it was there that the Saracens (…) made the most original contributions. These, in brief, were nothing less than trigonometry and algebra (with its significantly Arab name). (…) Equally distinguished were Islam's mathematical geographers, its astronomical observatories and instruments (…). The Muslims also deserve high marks for optics, for chemistry (…) and for pharmacy. More than half the remedies and healing aids used by the West came from Islam (…). Muslim medical skill was incontestable. (…) In the field of philosophy, what took place was rediscovery - a return, essentially of the peripatetic philosophy. The scope of this rediscovery, however, was not limited to copying and handling on, valuable as that undoubtely was. It also involved continuing, elucidating and creating.”

“Events are the ephemera of history; they pass across its stage like fireflies, hardly glimpsed before they settle back into darkness and as often as not into oblivion. Every event, however brief, has to be sure a contribution to make, lights up some dark corner or even some wide vista of history.”
