Our salvation is in striving to achieve what we know we'll never achieve.
—Ryszard Kapuściński
If the truth doesn't save us, what does that say about us?
—Lois McMaster Bujold
And this is the simple truth — that to live is to feel oneself lost. He who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. Instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. These are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. All the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce.
—Soren Kierkegaard
Salvation is for the feeble, that’s what I think. I don’t want salvation. I want life, all of life, the miserable as well as the superb.
—Tom Robbins
