how much truth can a spirit endure, how much truth does a spirit dare?
Philosophy, as I have hitherto understood and lived it, is a voluntary quest for even the cursed and wicked sides of existence. From the long experience I gained from such wondering through ice and desert, I learned to view differently all that had hitherto philosophized: the hidden history of philosophy, the psychology of its great names, came to light for me. "How much truth can a spirit endure, how much truth does a spirit dare?"-this became for me a real standard of value.
