(1872 - 1956)

Spanish Writer, Novelist of Generation of '98, Valencia Graduate

: Spanish writer from the generation of '98 . Baroja, who received his doctorate in medicine, ended up abandoning that profession in favor of literature, an activity in which he cultivated the novel and, to a much lesser extent, the theater. In his work, in which he often betrays a pessimistic attitude, he reflected his individualism. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #5 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Eccentric Thought

“The European, the good European, as you call him, is without doubt a skilled mechanic, a good scientist, an excellent watch maker... but in religious questions he cannot compete... Luther, Calvin, General Booth are stupid fools...

Those minor prophets, Ariophiles, try to demonstrate that the Arian, the German, is a man of tempered intelligence and common sense. This may be possible, but this sort of person did not invent religion. Without doubt religions were created by the insane visionary, feverish, exalted types.”
