Baruch Spinoza Quotes

After Experience Had Taught Me That All The Usual Surroundings Of Social Life Are Vain And Futile; Seeing That None Of The Objects Of My Fears Contained In Themselves Anything Either Good Or Bad, Except In So Far As The Mind Is Affected By Them, I Finally Resolved To Inquire Whether There Might Be Some Real Good Having Power To Communicate Itself, Which Would Affect The Mind Singly, To The Exclusion Of All Else: Whether, In Fact, There Might Be Anything Of Which The Discovery And Attainment Would Enable Me To Enjoy Continuous, Supreme, And Unending Happiness.
