“The individual... has no value for nature, and can have none, for infinite time, infinite space, and the infinite number of possible individuals therein are her kingdom. Therefore nature is always ready to let the individual fall, and the individual is accordingly not only exposed to destruction in a thousand ways from the most insignificant accidents, but is even destined for this and is led towards it by nature herself, from the moment that individual has served the maintenance of the species. In this way, nature quite openly expresses the great truth that only the Ideas, not individuals, have reality proper, in other words are a complete objectivity of the will.”

“Kramer's sits on Connecticut Avenue just north of Dupont Circle and is a Washington institution of sorts, functioning as a bookstore, restaurant, and bar all in one. The front always swarms with people perusing the book displays, which overflow with stacks of paperbacks and hardbacks, everything from political memoirs to the juiciest works of fiction.”

“Since both past and present are in the Primordial Being, he has already walked his way; he will not arrive at any other time or have more or less time. He will return to the same “place” simultaneously, beyond time. He swims outside time and seeks and offers the purpose through the artifice of time. No particle is aware of its most profound memory. However, every particle rushes through time in its unmistakable walk, and every mistake is part of this unmistakable walk, part of its perfection.”
