Men on their side must force themselves for a while to lay their notions by and begin to familiarize themselves with facts.
Francis Bacon
As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.
Carl Jung, 'Memories, Dreams, Reflections', 1962
Philosophy always requires something more, requires the eternal, the true, in contrast to which even the fullest existence as such is but a happy moment.
