A Quote by Gottfried Benn

Whoever wants to understand much must play much. — © Gottfried Benn
Whoever wants to understand much must play much.
Whoever wants to understand National Socialist Germany must know Wagner.
Forgetting: that is a divine capacity. And whoever aspires to the heights and wants to fly must cast off much that is heavy and make himself light--I call it a divine capacity for lightness.
We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it. Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times.
Ever since men became capable of free speculation, their actions, in innumerable important respects, have depended upon their theories as to the world and human life, as to what is good and what is evil. This is true in the present day as at any former time. To understand an age or a nation, we must understand its philosophy, and to understand its philosophy we must ourselves be in some degree philosophers. There is here a reciprocal causation: the circumstances of men s lives do much to determine their philosophy, but, conversely, their philosophy does much to determine their circumstances.
I am going to get world-wide recognition from whoever wants it, and whoever wants to challenge me.
That is what it is like with Pep. At first, you don't understand. But then you grow up, you work, and now we understand the things he wants much better. It's not like the first season when it took him more time to make us understand his ideas. Some players didn't understand immediately what he wanted.
Everyone wants to make the Olympics. Everyone wants to pretty much just play on the team or at least try out.
I understand that people have aspirations, and everyone wants to play the lead role. But, I do believe that one must climb the ladder from the first step.
If I didn't get paid to play this game, I'd still play it the exact same way, with as much intensity and as much focus as I play it with now.
The true way to gain much, is never to desire to gain too much. He is not rich that possesses much, but he that covets no more; and he is not poor that enjoys little, but he that wants too much.
Whoever wants to pay me money to play the game of football, I'll play for 'em, it doesn't matter to me.
I'll play for whoever wants to have me. It's an honor to be in the discussion for anything.
I think it's my job to like any character I play - to understand and appreciate a character, to look at the world as much as possible from their point of view. I don't look at it just technically: learn the lines, figure out what gestures I want to bring and play, and that's it. I like to learn as much as I can about the person, and see what happens.
I think when you play with the same defence, you sort of understand each other's body language, and you read off each other, and it's much, much better.
Do not wonder why you are blessed with so much, just understand you have so much so you can help other people have as much as you.
A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.
