Only Kant stayed at home longer than Lichtenberg; both men being somewhat alike in their appreciation of the virtues of the middle-class life. Lichtenberg, however, was no timid professor. One of the most appealing things about him is his interest and enthusiasm over the minor occurrences in his life. A simple rain storm was as apt to inspire...
