The Task of Man
"Such is the task of man: it is inexhaustible, it is infinite, and quite
sufficient to satisfy the heart and spirit of the most ambitious men. A
transient and imperceptible being lost in the midst of a shoreless
ocean of universal mutability, having an unknown eternity behind him and
an eternity just as unknown ahead of him, the thinking, active man, the
man who is conscious of his human mission, remains proud and calm in
the awareness of his liberty which he is won by freeing himself through
work and science and by liberating, through revolt when necessary, the
men around him - his equals and brothers. This is his consolation, his
reward, his only paradise"
