I shall still be dimly aware of the present when the good things that I have been expecting come to pass.

If, then , my awareness of the past and future makes me less aware of the present, I must begin to wonder whether I am actually living in the real world."

This alone is man's real business in the world and the justification of his existence, without which he would only be an insect crawling among the ephemeral insects on a speck of surface mud and water which has managed to form itself amid the appalling immensities of the physical universe."
