Peter De Vries Quotes
I Believe That Man Must Learn To Live Without Those Consolations Called Religious, Which Is Own Intelligence Must By Now Have Told Him Belong To The Childhood Of The Race. Philosophy Can Really Give Us Nothing Permanent To Believe Either; It Is Too Rich In Answers, Each Canceling Out The Rest. The Quest For Meaning Is Foredoomed. Human Life 'means' Nothing. But This Is Not To Say That It Is Not Worth Living. What Does A Debussy Arabesque 'mean,' Or A Rainbow Or A Rose? A Man Delights In All Of These, Knowing Himself To Be No More
a Wisp Of Music And A Haze Of Dreams Dissolving Against The Sun. Man Has Only His Own Two Feet To Stand On, His Own Human Trinity To See Him Through: Reason, Courage, And Grace. And The First Plus The Second Equals The Third.
