71. If someone is merely ahead of his time, it will catch up to him one day. (p. 8e)

72. Reading the Socratic dialogues one has the feeling: what a frightful waste of time! What's the point of these arguments that prove nothing and clarify nothing? (p. 14e)

125. One often makes a remark and only later sees how true it is.
