A man who does not feel deeply cannot possibly be rational.
Rationality is not born from absence of emotion, it is born from one's ability to contrast emotion with objective reality.
To understand a risk on an intellectual level is not the same as feeling the fear it incites within you, because it is only through feeling, through experiencing that intensity, that higher intuition is granted.
A man who is only practical, only pragmatic - can never become truly great, because he will be unable to go beyond himself as he will see no sense in it.
It is exactly a man's emotional drive, his irrational belief, in the midst of a rational fundament, that allows him to push beyond the limitations of practicality and logic, what inspires him to break through the walls of self-limitation.
The perfected man is not a mechanic - he is an engineer.
