“We are to regard existence as a raid or great adventure; it is to be judged, therefore, not by what calamities it encounters, but by what flag it follows and what high town it assaults.

But anyone who shrinks from that is a traitor to the great scheme and experiment of being.” WorldExistenceAliveDangerousDangerAdventureTownsRegardExperimentsEncountersJudgedFlagsSchemesAssaultShrinksCalamityTraitorDangerous ThingsGreat Adventure Author:Gilbert K.

He must regard God as a helpless Longing, which longed him into existence by its desperate need for an executive organ.” MenNeedsHumansGodHandsLyingPurposeExistenceBrainTeachingRegardSalvationLongingExperimentsRealizationDesperateExecutivesOrgansSoleHelplessExperimentation Author:George Bernard Shaw
