"The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers." – Erich Fromm, in 'Man for Himself' (1947), Ch. 3.
"Ants are more like the parts of an animal than entities on their own. They are mobile cells, circulating through a dense connective tissue of other ants in a matrix of twigs. The circuits are so intimately interwoven that the anthill meets all the essential criteria of an organism. – Lewis Thomas, 'The Lives of a Cell: Notes of a Biology Watcher', "Antaeus in Manhattan" (1974).
"A good man, through obscurest aspirations, Has still an instinct of the one true way." – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 'Faust'.
