Walter Benjamin Quote

The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself.


Reflections: essays, aphorisms, autobiographical writing (ed. Schocken, 1986)


The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself.

The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself.

The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself.

The more circumspectly you delay writing down an idea, the more maturely developed it will be on surrendering itself.
