"It was found that the intellect could be independently developed, that is, in separation from the man (soul), as any single organ can be invigorated (like a bicep), and the result was monstrous. A canine appetite for knowledge was generated, which must still be fed, but was never satisfied, and this knowledge not being directed to ACTION, never took the character of substantial, humane truth, blessing those whom it entered. It gave the scholar certain powers of expression, the power of speech, or the power of poetry, of literary art, but it did not bring him to peace or to beneficence." R. W. Emerson.
