“What the ‘world’ is there for, what ‘humanity’ is there for is not to concern us for the time being, unless we want to be funny: for there just isn’t anything funnier and more cheerful on the world’s stage than the presumptuousness of those little worms called man; but do ask what you, the individual, are there for, and if no one else can tell you then just try sometime to justify the meaning of your existence a posteriori, as it were, by setting yourself a purpose, a goal, a ‘for this’, a lofty and noble ‘for this’. And perish in the attempt – I know of no better life’s purpose than to perish, animae magnae prodigus, in attempting the great and impossible.” (p. 54-55)
