“We are repeatedly left, in other words, with no further focus than ourselves, a source from which self-pity naturally flows. Each time this happens I am struck again by the permanent impassibility of the divide. Some people who have lost a husband or a wife report feeling that person's presence, receiving that person's advice. Some report actual sightings, what Freud described in "Mourning and Melancholia" as "a clinging to the object through the medium of a hallucinatory wishful psychosis." Others describe not a visible apparition but just a "very strongly felt presence."”
“We are repelled by the Teutons, because their thoughts will not minister to our
private needs; but this instinctive recoil at the same time explains a furtive
attraction which was not exhausted by the romantic revival of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries. The concentration of the Teutons exposes a
narrowness of another kind in ourselves; every time we are confronted with a
people of another type, a stone in the foundation of our complacency is
loosened. We are surprised by an uneasy feeling that our civilization does not
exhaust the possibilities of life; we are led to suspect that our problems derive
their poignancy from the fact that, at times, we mistake our own reasonings
about reality for reality itself. We become dimly aware that the world stretches
beyond our horizon, and as this apprehension takes shape, there grows upon
us a suspicion that some of the problems which baffle us are problems of our
own contrivance; our questionings often lead us into barren fastnesses instead
of releasing us into the length and breadth of eternity, and the reason may be
that we are trying to make a whole of fragments and not, as we thought,
attempting to grasp what is a living whole in itself. And at last, when we learn to
gaze at the world from a new point of view, revealing prospects which have
been concealed from our eyes, we may perhaps find that Hellas also contains
more things, riches as well as mysteries than are dreamt of in our philosophy;
after all, we have perhaps been no less romantic in our understanding of Greece than in our misunderstanding of the Teutons and other primitive peoples.”

A person whom rejects societal notions of success, does not believe in a merciful god, and is shunned by the same people whom he studiously avoids, is left with very little to steady their life except for moments of solitude to contemplate the aesthetic purpose of their being. We reaffirm the value of personal existence by working on self-improvement and dedicating our life to achieving purposeful goals.”
