When goals go, meaning goes. When meaning goes, purpose goes. When purpose goes, life goes dead on our hands.
The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows it to realize its supreme purpose through him.
The serious problems in life...are never fully solved. If ever they should appear to be so it is a sure sign that something has been lost. The meaning and purpose of a problem seem to lie not in its solution but in our working at it incessantly.
