The soul of every man does possess the power of learning the truth, and the organ to see it with. . . . Just as one might have to turn the whole body round in order that the eye should see the light instead of the darkness, so the entire soul must be turned away from this changing world until its eye can bear to contemplate reality.
In a certain sense, every single human soul has more meaning and value than the whole of history.
Contradiction is the criterion of reality.
