Loneliness And Darkness Have Just Robbed Me

When We Attempt To Imagine Death, We Perceive Ourselves As Spectators.

We Have Become Convinced That It Is Better To Avoid Such Symbolic Disguisings Of The Truth In What We Tell Children And Not To Withhold From Them A Knowledge Of The True State Of Affairs Commensurate With Their Intellectual Level.

Analogies, It Is True, Decide Nothing, But They Can Make One Feel More At Home.

In General People Experience Their Present Naively, As It Were, Without Being Able To Form An Estimate Of Its Contents; They Have First To Put Themselves At A Distance From It - The Present, That Is To Say, Must Have Become The Past - Before It Can Yield Points Of Vantage From Which To Judge The Future.

Man Has, As It Were, Become A Kind Of Prosthetic God.
