“[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.”
“What can't be cured must be endured.”
“What you cannot escape, you must fight; what you cannot fight, you must endure.”
“Anorexia cannot be cured by treating the physical symptoms alone; it is the mind which must be treated.”
“In order to live, man must act; in order to act, he must make choices; in order to make choices, he must define a code of values; in order to define a code of values, he must know what he is and where he is – i.e. he must know his own nature (including his means of knowledge) and the nature of the universe in which he acts – i.e. he needs metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, which means: philosophy. He cannot escape from this need; his only alternative is whether the philosophy guiding him is to be chosen by his mind or by chance.”
