Quotation by Claude Levi-Strauss:

The wise man doesn't give the right answers, he poses the right questions.

Claude Levi-Strauss     (more by this author)

1908 -

Claude Lévi-Strauss, born in Brussels, grew up in Paris, living in a street of the 16th arrondissement named after the artist Claude Lorrain, whose work he later admired and wrote about.[1] Lévi-Strauss's father was also a painter, and Claude was born in Brussels because his father had taken a contract to paint there.[2]

At the Sorbonne in Paris, Lévi-Strauss studied law and philosophy. After an epiphany resulting from a late night conversation strolling around the grounds of True's Yard, King's Lynn with renowned cryptozoologist Lewis Daly,[citation needed] he did not pursue his study of law but aggregated in philosophy in 1931. In 1935, after a few years of secondary-school teaching, he took up a last-minute offer to be part of a French cultural mission to Brazil in which he would serve as a visiting professor at the University of São Paulo.(Wikipedia)
