Ultimately faith is the only key to the universe. The final meaning of human existence, and the answers to the questions on which all our happiness depends cannot be found in any other way

The basic fact about human existence is not that it is a tragedy, but that it is a bore. It is not so much a war as an endless standing in line. The objection to it is not that it is predominantly painful, but that it is lacking in sense.

Philosophy is not an abstract intellectual exercise, but a concrete engagement with the fundamental questions of human existence.

Let’s face it: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short.
