""It is universal resurrection that synthesizes and really restores one humanity as the subject of the achievements of history, although in a different dimension of being. ... [For 'immanent progressivism'] there is no progress, for there is no one to progress in the absence of a unique, continuous humanity not subject to a temporal end." 344" — May 16, 2026 09:25PM

""Our passions grow fiercer when left idle through lack of contact with other people.

“Man is but a reed, the feeblest thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed. The entire universe need not arm itself to crush him… But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him – the universe knows nothing of this. All our dignity then consists in thought. By it we must elevate ourselves, and not by space and time, which we cannot fill.”
